Yes. Synthesia supports over 140 languages and 1,000+ natural-sounding voices, making it easy to create multilingual talking head videos. You can automatically add captions and translate audio, on-screen text, and subtitles with one click.

What is a talking head video?
A talking head video features a person speaking directly to the camera, typically framed from the shoulders up, to explain or present information. This format creates a personal connection with viewers and is commonly used for training videos, product explanations, and internal communications where you want to build trust and engagement through direct communication.
What can I use talking head videos for?
Talking head videos are ideal for training, onboarding, internal communications, marketing, sales, and product explainers. They help you deliver clear, consistent messages at scale, without filming, so teams can create professional videos quickly for almost any use case.
Not just a talking head video maker
Synthesia is an end-to-end AI video platform that helps you create, localize, manage, and share professional videos at scale. While talking head videos are a core use case, the platform goes far beyond scripted avatars.
For instance, turn web pages into videos with the URL to video converter, capture demos and walkthroughs using the AI screen recorder, and upload your existing videos to dub them into any language with perfect lip-sync.
With realistic AI avatars, brand controls, and built-in interactivity, Synthesia helps teams communicate clearly and consistently at scale.
