Review Time
When I signed up for their "Elite" package, I was using this to learn more about AI generation and aside from the odd issues, it has worked well. Suddenly they are placing restriction specifically on time duration, in direct contradiction to their advertised offer. And it makes the facility unworkable. The promised duration was 5 minutes (300 seconds), but suddenly the timing is cutting off at 60 seconds. That is not what I signed up for, and their suggestion that I create multiple clips and merge them is overly time consuming and an issues with Jump Cuts which any professional editor will understand. And their response from Sid Dewar: Use the merger to make longer videos. AI generation is not cheap, with TalkingPhotos you can make unlimited videos at a one-time price. No other competitor allows long form videos in this quality for a one-time price without credits or monthly fees.
While we love to provide value, we have to ensure the app is sustainable long term so all our customers can benefit." My issue is I have created a talking character who narrates about issues in our community and now suddenly the time has been restricted to 60 seconds. So they talk the talk, but they don't keep to their initial agreed offerings.
Since writing this review, the company have contacted me and firstly asked me to take down this review, which I do not do. But they don't actually address the issues. I used an analogy for them. being sold a vehicle with a V8 engine then at a service having the mechanic remove four cylinders claiming it will save fuel. But in addition on their user Facebook page, where I also highlighted the issue, I have now been suspended by an admin, because obviously they don't want other users to be aware of this as an issue. So, in effect, they don't actually deal with issues, they just hope they will go away.

Overall, my experience with TalkingPhotos was positive and inspiring — the platform delivers on its promise to turn still photos into lively talking and animated videos with engaging movements, multi-language support, and a relatively easy learning curve. While there are occasional rough edges in feature depth and output precision, the creativity and accessibility of the tool make it valuable for marketers, storytellers, educators, and social media enthusiasts alike.

Been using this amazing AI spokesperson software since their initial launch date, I had pre purchased it even before the release and boy I was not disappointed. It was simply the best deal that I had made. Creating amazing AI generated Spokesperson video with ease and near perfect lip sync and movements. It is currently mmissing the feature to upload a photo and make it talk and move as well as a few movements needs really good improvements. But overall it is an amazing tool to create AI spokesperson videos, I have even created a taling candle man, talking banana, a tomato....etc and it is simply amazing and from what I have seen so far it just keeps getting better and better.
