Man with cerebral palsy uses HeyGen avatar to tell his life story in his own voice
HeyGen · x · 2026-10-16
HeyGen shares a heartwarming use case: Jan Hotovec, who has cerebral palsy that affects how he communicates, worked with Fameplay and Nolimi to build a HeyGen avatar carrying his own likeness and voice, letting him share his life story in his own words.
While most people use avatars to save time, Jan turned the technology into a tool for self-expression — a real-world example of AI avatars in accessibility.
