## What is Talkr Live?

Record videos of yourself talking as a celebrity, politician, or even a realistic painting or doll. Then save the video or share it on iMessage, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, or other social media sites.

Talkr Live's advanced 3D algorithms detect your facial movements and apply them to the photo, making you instantly more attractive and popular.  OK, maybe not more popular, but you can choose to be whoever you want to be! You can also switch between multiple faces in the same photo, or between different photos in the same video.

Talkr Live works best on iPhones with a depth camera (iPhone X, XS, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 12 mini), but any iPhone 6S or later model will work.

In-app purchases allow you to create high resolution videos and videos without the Talkr logo. All other features are free.

### 5/5 — Talker live

*2025-11-11, version 2023.2*

Speed up

### 1/5 — ?this is an app?

*2025-02-18, version 2023.2*

I'm actually very surprised this is an app.   It's actually a mess. The faces you upload don't even look the same.   This should be in like beta form right now.    Nowhere near ready to be an app..    I have never even seen a more unprepared and misleading app

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-01-16, version 2023.2*

Great

### 3/5 — This app

*2025-01-15, version 2023.2*

This app doesn’t let you choose any picture it only let you choose, famous actors or let you choose. Just a real person face doesn’t let you do cartoon or anything.

### 2/5 — Clunky / not intuitive

*2024-09-10, version 2023.2*

Problem 1, figuring out what to do to make the mouth move. Wasn't prompted by the app until my 5th attempt.

Problem 2, I allowed access to only some photos in my photos app. But every time I want to select a photo to animate, I still see my entire photos album. I still have to scroll through ALL of my 1,500+ photos to find the one I want to use.
Just show me the photos I allowed access to. How difficult could that be?

Problem 3, Explanations for setting options are in DARK GREY on a BLACK background. Difficult to read for proper setting adjustments.

### 1/5 — Teeth

*2024-08-08, version 2023.2*

Why is my teeth not showing? what do I need to do to make it show?

### 4/5 — So fun!!

*2024-03-11, version 2023.2*

I love this app ! Although it was a little hard to figure out how to work it it’s still reall fun !

### 5/5 — Unbelievable

*2023-12-31, version 2023.2*

In less than 5 minutes, I was able to make my idea into a reality. I think they call that magic, fairy tales, serendipitous???

### 1/5 — Not worth it.

*2023-03-16, version 2023.2*

I uploaded a non-human face. Software had a hard time detecting the face. I thought I would be able to move the animation features  manually to align with my image but you can not.  I ended up with no eye or mouth movement, the mouth just vibrated. There is also no way to alter your own voice to male / female & there are no voice variations like accents, pitches. Very limited. Would not recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-02-21, version 2023.2*

Highly recommend this one!
