# Synthesia – AI video communications platform

> Synthesia is an AI video communications platform used by L&D, enablement, HR, and internal-communications teams at large, multi-region enterprises to create, localize, and scale business video without cameras, studios, actors, or agencies. It spans four product lines: **AI video creation** — turn scripts, PowerPoint, documents, or prompts into training, onboarding, compliance, explainer, SOP, internal-comms, and marketing videos; **Roleplay Sessions** — practise sales roleplays, cold-call and discovery practice, objection handling, support simulations, manager training, and difficult-conversation or compliance scenarios with an AI avatar that gives conversational coaching feedback; **AI Dubbing & video translation** — localize training, comms, and marketing videos into 140+ languages with lip-sync and voice cloning, or translate existing footage for regional audiences; and the **Interactive Avatars API** — developer-facing live-avatar infrastructure for embedding real-time avatars into apps, websites, support flows, and product experiences. Teams choose Synthesia for high-quality AI avatars and motion graphics, enterprise-grade security and compliance (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001/27701/42001, UK Cyber Essentials, GDPR, EU data residency, SSO/SAML, SCORM/LMS export), fast script-edit-and-regenerate iteration versus re-shoots, brand-kit consistency for non-designers, and responsive customer support. Used by 1M+ users and 90% of the Fortune 100.
