This is unreal 🤯 I just used #ArtificialIntelligence #AI to translate my voice & sync my lips to give the impression I speak Spanish 🇪🇸/German 🇩🇪 fluently (I don't btw). I used @HeyGen_Official Video Translate BETA & my mind is blown. ⬇️

@mrlouieevans @MrTSci409 @olicav Benefits of visualiser over board: 1. Face the class - keep an eye on pupils 2. Can permanently store all of your 'board work' (use an exercise book) - great for revision 3. Pre-prepare & reveal diagrams like with PowerPoint* 4. Can show worksheets, exams annotation & pupil work
