Synthesia customer reviews

The simple workflow and the ability to generate content in multiple languages have helped us deliver learning faster in various languages while reducing costs and enabling us to make last-minute changes and script adjustments.

Able to create professional training videos in different languages. If changes are needed, it is very easy to make edits and different options for the same video.

Their avatars sync better than any of their competitors. The speech function is very realistic. I tried some of the other services that offer similar options, and I can tell you, don’t waste your time testing these other services.

I've been Synthesia for about 2 months, and in that time span they continue to add new features, including the ability to record your screen, and also add videos and other media content. I like that they continue to add additional festures. The AI Avatars are slick, and can really add a whole new dimension to eLearning by incorporating them into your authoring tools such as Storyline or Captivate.

Synthesia removes the skill and cost barriers in terms of voice acting and videography that's usually required to create talking-head training videos.

There is a wide choice of avatars, and you can add different backgrounds and choose accents. But the best part is actually the combination of great-sounding audio and top-class lip synching.

Avoid using your own image in presentations and courses. It's easier and more homogeneous with an avatar, so communication is easier and more manageable.

Synthesia let's me customize the accent to the video speaker, and experiment with formats, timing, inflection and new features

The creation of the videos is very similar to create a power point slide deck, so the learning curve is very flat. A great feature Synthesia offers is screen caption, either as a background or a video. A nice feature is to use a finished video as a new template, so corrections and new background can be added without recreating the video anew.

The user interface is intuitive, and it's easy to produce video content quickly. Also super easy to edit, change elements, and manipulate the script.

There is a wide choice of avatars, and you can add different backgrounds and choose accents. But the best part is actually the combination of great-sounding audio and top-class lip synching.

At Cord, we're using Synthesia to create product demo videos that add the more interactive AI avatar element, which has shown to significantly improve our engagement metrics. We're particularly impressed by the ease of use of their platform and the wealth of different AI actors we can use to diversify our videos.

Synthesia has been amazing for video production, especially talking head videos. I'm using it to create an entire elearning suite of modules, which is a mix of talking head videos and motion graphics. I love how easy it is to use and how quick it is to get videos published.

Syntesia's interface and functions are just perfect for creating short educational videos. I like that we can upload our slides, select a voice and avatars. The interface is intuitive and the video quality is great. I also appreciate the ability to select different languages, as we work in Asia and need more languages than just English.

I love how simple this tool is to use and how I can integrate it into platforms like Zapier for my automated CRM. It's not only fun to use, but it's also a game-changer for your business. There are so many possibilities! I was also really surprised about how affordable Sythesia is.

I really like the user-friendly interface and platform. One of the things I like best is how easy it is to create videos in any language.

The ability to quickly pick an avatar, generate a script, choose a voice, and create a video. The ability to also enter translated text in the same video and create a multi-lingual version.

This is an amazing application that has so many uses. I use it for learning and development. It is easy, and intuitive, and the output is astounding and always makes an impression.

The responsive team helps with setup, improves the video output quality, and provides flexible tools for fast and easy video creation. The customized avatars are the best quality I've seen without a big movie budget required.

It was very simple to understand the process of using Synthesia. I immediately recognized the value that Synthesia brings to our company.

The support staff is very helpful and the tool works very efficiently with a professional look.

Easy to use with plenty of avatars to choose from, so you can deliver your message according to your style. Great customization options, such as background selections.

With a limited budget and no marketing staff, my open rates on video emails and social media posts have increased by 25% since using Synthesia. It is easy to use, and I appreciate the ethnic, language, and tonal diversity. I am encouraged by the frequent improvements added at no extra cost to us. The price is just right for our nonprofit budget.

You'll be surprised at how easy it is to use and produce videos in record time without complex knowledge of animation.

Provides an innovative method of creating training material with PowerPoint-like controls for AI actors to communicate your message effectively. The ability to automate the process is quite nice as well.

What's not to love? Using Synthesia is intuitive, easy and fun! I love the range of avatars available, but also love being able to add the voice only which suits some of my projects. It's a huge bonus to be able to import my own media also for backgrounds, as some projects are very specific in what is required. Being able to add different languages is also a huge bonus and opens up the potential reach for both myself and my clients.

Let Synthesia take care of your video production. Simple AI-powered video editing tool will automatically turn your text into a professional video in a few clicks. Many languages are covered, so you can focus on the details while Synthesia takes care of everything else.

The ease and speed of the process is fantastic. The way of working is very simple and intuitive, the avatar options are vast and diverse, and it's designed to cover any ethnic range. It's simply fantastic!

The AI videos are very realistic and there are multiple actors to choose from. In the studio, you can use various existing templates or create your own. It's also possible to define dynamic text, i.e. create a text variable that is created at runtime.

I really appreciate Synthesia's ease of use, the video creation pipeline approach, and the constant new features added to the toolset.

The video creation tools significantly reduce the time it takes to create videos. This has allowed our group to build virtual human applications at a much faster rate. The voices used in this application are also better than what you find with other text-to-voice applications and include visual components.

This tool allows everyone to elevate their presentations or educational content to the next level. Goodbye PowerPoint, hello Synthesia!

The cost-effective quality content and cloud-based tool that the whole team can use is a game-changer.

This tool is great for those with no background in graphics, animation, or video production because it offers a variety of built-in avatars and a wide range of languages to choose from.

Synthesia is easy to use and allows you to create professional, custom videos in minutes. If necessary, it's easy to make quick changes after production.

I love that we can use a different avatar for each of our courses to help clients immediately understand what they will be learning.

An app democratizing the future of video and media. Fast, versatile, intuitive, and easy-to-navigate user interface. For someone like me who is passionate about video, having used different products, this one is a favorite. Not only does it let anyone produce an excellent talking head video in minutes, but it also does so much more. Multilingual text-to-speech with an increasing number of avatars that speak and act like an actual human. Or wait a second, they are in fact actual humans. Probably the most encouraging thing is the team's commitment to delivering to the highest standard. This alone guarantees a world-class product.

For a small company like ours, it is not possible to have product and instruction films made. You can do that with Synthesia. It took some time, but the result is great. Moreover, Synthesia regularly develops new features. Very satisfied!

It's so innovative and easy to use. We love the new updates and constant improvements.

Surprise yourself with cloud-based software capable of producing amazing presenters. Very useful for companies.

I am finally able to create videos that explain directions that people will watch and follow. Having the talking head with a voice pulls people in, and before they know it, they have watched 10 minutes of instructions. This has already saved us so many phone calls where we usually have to explain these directions over the phone.

Easy to use. A broad range of Avatars to choose from. The support team is very cooperative and competent. The communication between Synthesia management and customers that I experienced was transparent and empathetic.

We love being able to automatically generate pitches and sales videos from copy, which makes it a thousand times faster and cheaper to produce professional videos for our non-technical people.

The voices are of excellent quality compared to other software on the market.

It's easy to create a professional announcement with Synthesia. It allows for unique media content and has the ability to overlay an avatar on a background video and edit the video. The price is also very affordable, even for a medium-sized nonprofit.

First, I'm impressed with the quality of the generated videos. I also really like how the pitfalls, like strange pronunciation, are addressed with a clever and very intuitive UI that lets you hear your text before generating the video. Overall, the UI is top-notch and it's quite simple to create new videos.

Synthesia helps us create high-quality videos in record time. Its easy-to-use interface and wide range of avatars allow us to create a wide range of different videos for our e-learning.

The avatars have great voices, even in different languages. It's very easy to create and there are good templates that help me create a video quickly.

I love that the only thing I have to do is create text content, paste it into Synthesia's video creation input, select a proper avatar, and add some app screens/images to finish my video. It is really easy.

The platform is simple and self-explanatory to use and the results are amazing. Customers didn't even realize it was an avatar.

The platform is easy to use, very efficient, and covers all the requirements for effective production. It saves us precious time and financial resources and gives us and our clients more flexibility. Bonus: the API works wonderfully.

The fact that you can create a video in multiple languages and quickly change it after finding a mistake or if the information changes is a breeze. We no longer have to hassle with making videos, taking care of background, lighting, multiple takes, editing, etc. This is our go-to method now, and we have already had clients wanting to use it for their own businesses.

Through Synthesia, we were able to make tutorials and videos to explain the functions of the software in half the time and with an exceptional budget! We will be ordering a custom avatar shortly. Thank you, Synthesia!

The variety of avatars and language options is great. I love the animation options and the backgrounds, and the video selections are especially impressive.

Synthesia is an innovative service that opens new avenues of creativity and opportunities for digital creators and is a powerful tool for digital marketing professionals. I am eager to see new features and have many ideas in mind that I want to apply.

With Synthesia, I am able to produce good quality videos that can be used in our marketing and to support our SaaS product and guide our customers in their online journey.

After using Synthesia for more than two years, it is really incredible to see the evolution of the product and how easy it makes it for us to build super powerful videos.

The AI works great. It's very easy to set up and produce a video. It's great for internal demos and even advertising

Synthesia serves mind-blowing AI features for video making. It is easy to use and gives a high-quality video with minimal effort. It's a superb app to subscribe to!!!

I like most that the videos look authentic. My customers ask me who I hired to record them.

The platform keeps implementing improvements. When I started with Synthesia (around 6 months ago), I had a lot of frustrations with some of the functionality. A lot of these frustrations are gone now, so that means they really take fast action on their customers' feedback

The program is user-friendly. It has an excellent photo and video library and lots of avatar and voice choices.

The ease of this software is unbelievable. I've saved so much time on my latest training project and even have a few days to spare – truly unbelievable!

This platform is very user-friendly and allows me to create incredible and professional-looking videos for my insurance agency. It creates the most realistic text-to-speech I've ever seen compared to other platforms.

I like the wide selection of avatars and the natural language with so many regional dialects covered. In particular, the British voices are excellent, which is essential for my work

The interface is fairly simple and easy to use. I got along easily and was able to produce some videos quickly. The quality of characters and voice is also great.

I like the diversity and realism of video avatars, great customer support, and constantly pushing the development window.

I like how easy it is to change avatars, change music, and change backgrounds. The process of adding text is super easy, and I like that you can duplicate the video to use for other clients.

I like that you can use many available avatars to create high quality content for your business or non-profit.

Synthesia has been extremely helpful in improving the quality of my training videos and virtual lessons. I would recommend it to anyone or any business looking to add high quality visuals to their work or projects.

The interface is very easy to use. The choice of characters/avatars is amazing, covering just about every ethnicity, race, gender, and profession. I found the voices to be very close to reality. I highly recommend this tool. I have already used it to create many videos.

Synthesia is an extremely easy-to-use "text-to-video" application. There are numerous avatars to choose from. The quality of the rendering is amazing whether it's on mobile or in full screen portrait mode. The illusion is perfect!

With Synthesia, you have an all-inclusive suite for creating video content with realistic actors and voice modulation in many languages, all in minutes! You can create feedback quizzes, training videos, or presentations with custom digital actors that look real, and text-to-voice features. I've used it on many occasions, and it really helped reduce costs and get quick results.

One of the best online products in recent years. It has good speech quality, avatar quality, rendering speed, and a simple and intuitive interface.

I really like the final result, with avatars whose mouths move according to the speech. I have noticed that, with Brazilian Portuguese, not all avatars work well, but the ones that do are excellent.

It has been a very pleasant experience. The videos that Synthesia produces are very good, with avatars that have very realistic expressions and voices that are very realistic. It is without a doubt the best video production service with AI.

Since I do not speak foreign languages at a conversational level, Synthesia help me create videos about immersive technological developments (AR, VR, XR). It is a great help that I can support my presentations not only with text, but also with sound.

It is straightforward to use. No additional peripherals, like cameras and microphones, are needed. The results are impressive. I love the instant autosave feature that saves your work after every single change. Everything is optimized, so you don't have to decide on tens of confusing settings.

I love Synthesia! I use it to create explainer videos of research articles for my post-graduate degree. It is amazing. Other products aren't as good at text-to-speech, and the emotion in the voices and avatars make the video so professional.

I think the best thing is the customization in the video area where you can upload your own pictures or graphics. I also find the selection of several languages or linguistic dialects great.

The solution is simple. We got our own avatar from Synthesia and we were up and running in 5 minutes. We use Synthesia to run video-first marketing campaigns on our website, which has proven to have great conversion rates. Our customers interact more easily with video than with plain text on the website, and we leverage Synthesia to automatically scale it across more than 6 languages.

The ready-made templates save time on creativity.

I love the diversity of AI avatars. Some of them are better than others, but overall they are all quite good considering they are robots! The templates are also great to start from.

Synthesia gives anyone the ability to create video presentations.

The voice is human-like. Unlike other products, it does not sound robotic.

I love the ease of use and the abundance of avatars to work with.

I have seen other so-called AI videos in the past, but this is amazing! It looks and sounds real because it is real.

The variety of avatars available allows you to combine spoken, written, and video elements within one video presentation.

Synthesia has many different avatars that use AI to create videos from text and create scenes as if you were preparing a slideshow presentation. It supports many different languages with male and female voices.

How fast the cloud tooling is on Synthesia - you can have your AI movie in minutes! Just add text in the tool, add a background video

The ease of use, quality of the videos, community support, and active new product feature development of Synthesia.

The power of delivering a super professional presentations in minutes using Synthesia.

At CEMEX University, we're using Synthesia to create explainer videos because it is just easier, faster, and more cost-effective to use Synthesia than to record an actual person doing the explanation. Their great variety of avatars makes it easy to adapt to most types of learning or communication initiatives, and the flexibility of producing the content in multiple languages has made Synthesia a go-to resource for many of our new programs.

The video quality is hyper-realistic. Sometimes it is difficult to tell that it is not a real actor. The voice is far better than most text-to-speech engines out there.

Using Synthesia's templates, we have been able to quickly generate compelling updates during our #innovationfestival21 events. The ability to create videos from slides provides a very slick and simple workflow that delivers high quality content.

The app is quite impressive, even in its early stages. The variety of avatars to choose from and the text-to-speech options (different accents, tempo, pronunciations, etc.) are amazing. I like that I can send a link to my clients so they can watch, listen and choose their favorite 'actor.' After developing the video, I can enable Share & Duplicate Video and send the link (my source file/work) to the client - another excellent feature!

I appreciate the different languages and avatars available on Synthesia, as well as the simplicity of the platform.

There is no faster way to create a video quickly - you can't beat copy and pasting in some text and clicking go. Sometimes people want to have a video for something but do not adapt well to the visual medium. Ideally, a message is adapted to the medium, but in cases where that's not possible, the idea that something already written can be made into a video quickly is excellent.

I like that the avatars look very close to a human. The TTS (text-to speech) is quite good.

The simplicity of Synthesia and the outcome that looks very professional.

How easy it is to create professional content using Synthesia!

Synthesia has been a user-friendly way for our group to introduce video and audio to text-heavy content. The tutorials are easy to watch if you need them. I jumped in and started creating without watching the starter videos. I really appreciate this platform.

After one week of working with Synthesia, I feel like an expert. The tutorials are excellent and the ability to create great-looking videos is outstanding.

Synthesia has reduced the cost of producing content and made the content more engaging by enabling developers to add voice and video content to learning. The rapid addition of new features and adding new Avatars will allow us to expand our usage beyond our original intention. I get a little dopamine rush every time, I log in and see and see that the product has been updated!

Synthesia is allowing us to turn presentation trainings into recordings without requiring someone to take time to record themselves and edit every time a change is needed. We create a more standardized learning experience and escalate our training to be more professional.

Creating training tutorials for employees and external customers. This content is needed for making clear onboarding instructions. It is now a more streamlined process.

This is the future of presenters, spokespersons, and voice-over. I cannot even tell you the cost savings my company has experienced by using Synthesia over actual live actors.

Brings static eLearning content to life with "live" Avatars replacing stock characters. Incorporating Synthesia into Storyline 360 or Adobe Captivate really helps make content more engaging.

‍

Allowing me to produce high-quality learning content in a literal fraction of the time it would take me to create something myself that is only 20% as good. It's allowing me to scale my output without scaling my hours at work or my department's headcount.

Mainly, Synthesia meets the need of not relying on a human voiceover artist, with all that it entails (financially, time-wise, and in terms of labor). It has dramatically increased my productivity.

We can make a presentation or explainer video without having to re-shoot clips, and without spending hours in rush trying to edit clips, The powerpoint integration is easy to use too.

Saving the rework of video editing is great, and it gives me time to tweak what I am trying to communicate in the video vs. re-recording / editing / etc. which is what takes most of the time in content creation.

Helps produce fairly professional looking videos with a semi-human touch without having to invest the skill, time and money in professional videography/voice acting.

Helping with being able to put more content out on social media more quickly and with a more professional look.

Synthesia is helping me increase engagement by having a virtual actor for my new videos.

We are migrating our how-to documents, currently containing screen shots (which makes those documents unreadable) to short videos with a walk thru background accompanied with verbal explanations. This allows us to increase the information density without boring the audience. Especially the AI gives a personal touch. We will use certain spokes persons (AI) for certain topics to give our users a familiar face.

We used Synthesia to create a chatbot on our website. An avatar that talks to our customers and walks them through our website. I've never thought of video chatbots like this before and I'm really impressed with it. Also, with the video chatbots we converted more visitors into demos. The fact that it is super fast to do and easy to do in multiple languages is just fantastic.

Way faster than preparing traditional video – especially if you are not comfortable speaking to camera. Consistent delivery and it also allows post-production add ons.

Save tons of money and time from hiring a real person to do explanatory video or any video that needs a human element.

Engaging leads in a more personalized fashion by replying with a personalized video.

The biggest problem I have is producing quality voiceovers. You can hire a professional voiceover spokesperson but this takes days and can cost hundreds of dollars. Or you can do it yourself and, in my case for lack of good equipment and a professional sounding voice, quality suffers. Synthesia's AI driven technology produces near human voice results which are shockingly realistic. All of this saves time and money.

I don't need to hire someone to work on my videos and I can create them myself. This saves more money for my business and makes our job easier.

The production of videos for courses allows us to customize our courses for each company without increasing the cost. It allows much faster editing than with real actors and is infinitely cheaper.

In psychology, a lot of training is provided that does not resonate with the cultural diversity of its audience. I believe that making content more accessible through captioned video presentations in more languages can lead to greater engagement and collaboration.

I tried creating explainer videos myself using my phone, a selfie-ring, and a basic video editor. As much as I tried, I simply couldn't deliver the lines. I'm not an actor. Somehow the AI bot seems more natural than I did on-screen!

Synthesia is helping us speed up our video content generation and make our product experience more personalized, leading to massively increased engagement – even for boring content.

Creating eLearning videos with a tiny budget and where speed is a priority to get them made.

As an educational institution, we need to produce educational materials in 2 languages. Synthesia has the possibility to create consistent content by adding the text in those languages and have instructional video tutorials ready very fast. It saves us time and money without compromising on the quality.

Synthesia does away with needing actors, film crews, and expensive equipment. I can use it to add to the automated emails my clients receive when they sign up with me. Now, my clients also receive a personal welcome video from me and I don't have to do a thing! I don't need to film an individual video for each new customer, Synthesia does it all for me. This brings a whole new level of professionalism to my business which is just great.

I solve the basic problem of actually making videos that don't take up my time and money. I really feel like this is the future of creating videos. Well done guys!

We are creating live action talking-head style videos without shooting an actor or recording voiceover for our clients' learning videos.

The problem I'm solving is communicating to our large global audience.

When we couldn't get a camera crew to our SMEs during Covid lockdown, Synthesia ensured we could still move ahead with producing great courses for our clients.

Creating educational and informational video content both for internal company communication and external content for customers.

Training for internal and external purposes for now. Easy and quick to put together and then share with staff and customers.

I can now create low-cost explainer videos tailored to many professional requirements. I provide a good script, and Synthesia creates the magic! It's that simple!

Faster video production without the hassle of going through traditional video production workflow (voiceover, animation knowledge, etc.)

Provides an effective means of communicating corporate messages and custom training.

The main problems I can solve with Synthesia are creating videos in a very short period of time, especially when advertising a special offer for creating a project for a client quickly. This is valuable because it makes everyone happy. A major benefit is having human-like speech.

We are very happy with Synthesia because it has helped us save money, time, and energy. It has also allowed us to work faster, which increases our productivity.

The time to delivery of my tutorials is reduced, and it is easy to create multilingual content with avatars respecting users' culture by using an avatar resembling their ethnicity.

Our group is creating a chat-based interface using Synthesia videos that help to train students in the medical field. We have found that collaborators and students are much more likely to accept these characters on first impression than the previous 3D virtual humans we used.

There is no need for expensive video equipment or lighting, nor 100 takes to record a simple educational video.

We are scaling up tutorial video production and getting all language versions with a simple process.

We are producing professional talking head videos with supporting collateral to explain our product. It enables the production of quality videos quickly, at low cost, with the option to edit after production.

We are saving time and money by using an avatar instead of booking time with expensive team members and executives to create learning videos.

It allows me to simply explain the product and thus promote the product via the website.

I love that it integrates well with other useful software like Typeform and Zapier. It's helping us automate so much of our content creation process.

It's very useful for companies if they have to disburse large amounts of money for a presenter, equipment, technical staff. It's fast and impactful.

Being able to sell complicated items that have involved instructions, directions, and precautions requires a lot of phone interactions because handing many people a PDF just doesn't work. Having these videos explain things with a person talking clearly holds the customers' attention so they get all the information they need. It has saved us countless phone calls and has made customers feel confident in the items they purchase.

Voice-over production used to involve real actors. Just to test a script, that would take days and cost hundreds of euros. Now we can polish the script 10 times in an hour, and make sure we only use real human performances when it's really needed.

It is great for regular announcements on programming and as an accommodation for the hearing impaired. We work primarily with youth ages 14-22, and they seem to be more willing to watch the video than they are to read a long email. We also recently used it as a loop for an exhibit at a music education convention, and it seemed to attract a lot of people's attention.

Synthesia is solving the language barriers and pronunciation issues, which benefits us in a diverse range of cross-cultural barriers.

We are creating videos to guide testers through user tests with these videos. It's much easier (and more flexible) to do this with Synthesia instead of creating videos with real people.

In our learning projects, some subject matter experts of our customers don't like to be on video, or we lack the time to produce real video content due to project time limitations. Then Synthesia is our first place to go to. If customers are on tight budgets, then the use of Synthesia helps us to create learning videos at a much lower cost than real video.

We are an app business that has struggled to effectively explain our app and how it works to users through traditional methods such as blog posts and FAQ articles. However, with Synthesia, we are able to enhance the user experience while also explaining the system in a more engaging way.

Video content is an easy way to engage your customers and keep them coming back. Video marketing can be used in many ways, such as creating instructions that make it easier to use your product, explaining how to use the product on social media, or showing the workflows in your company. But how can you create such content if you have no camera or actors? Of course, with Synthesia!

One problem it is solving for us is adding new video sequences after delivery. Before using Synthesia, whenever a client wanted to add more video sequences, we had to shoot again, with all the budget and logistics that entailed. Now, we can simply go to the platform and build the new sequences from the already existing template. Another problem was multilingual video training. Before, we had to translate the content, find an actor speaking the right language, and shoot each video independently. Now, we just need to translate the text, and Synthesia does the rest!

Making and updating videos in multiple languages is now a breeze, saving time and money and offering flexibility.

We have reduced post-production times, and you don't always have to look perfect and beautiful in front of the camera. Templates speed everything up.

I had a problem creating guidelines and user help videos; the cost of actors and writing scripts was expensive, but with Synthesia I can do it all myself. Our business adoption and sign-ups have improved after we introduced a Demo video from Synthesia.

We use Synthesia to present our products and services in different languages.

There is no need to spend thousands of euros on video production and actors.

It is cost-effective and easy to use for anyone with no prior knowledge of video editing.

It solves the problem of explaining our business without creating a lot of text. I can also show diagrams and pictures in an easy way.

It helped me set up a visual support platform for a customer pretty quickly and rather cheaply. I also use it for other various small assignments to help out other customers.

It has helped me train clients and staff about my products with the complex technology I offer. I am now more productive, and potential clients make sales easier.

I now have the ability to create multiple training videos and create a virtual team using the avatars.

I am trying out Synthesia as a communication tool, which has proven very effective so far. Most of my intended audience have not even noticed that the avatar is created with artificial intelligence.

It's saving time and money to produce similar videos with real characters.

My video marketing agency relies on speed and price for my customers. Synthesia gives me the ability to create a custom avatar that speaks in multiple languages for clients.

It solves the fact you don't need to hire actual professionals to act in your videos. You get on demand video content out of the box.

Using Synthesia has solved my problem of spending hours editing videos. It saves me so much time and allows me to create more videos and presentations in a quicker manner. I really enjoy using it.

Speed to market with content is the biggest time saver. We are seeing great results because the videos are being received very well.

Synthesia allows me to create presentation and training videos quickly and inexpensively. They are immediately usable online or transferable to Canva, for example.

The maximum possible speed from idea to implementation. I came up with an idea, wrote the text, and generated and edited the video, so within an hour, a new video avatar was ready for my product.

Synthesia solves many problems such as reducing operating costs by hiring a recording studio, actors, narrators, expensive recording equipment, etc. The most relevant benefit is the reduction of operating costs.

Synthesia helps solve the problem of quickly and cheaply creating explainer videos. Just by adding the script to Synthesia's script box and correcting some pronunciation details, you can have a professional video in minutes.

I can present complicated problems more efficiently, and speaking also helps in understanding the presentation. I am more productive since using it. Several of my clients have indicated that they would like to have similar presentations made.

I prefer to use avatars in my company videos rather than my own face because they look more professional and I trust them to maintain my corporate image. Additionally, I don't have to worry about setting up a microphone and camera, buying and learning complex video recording and editing software, or hiring actors, assistants, or editors. I am able to handle the entire process by myself.

Synthesia solves the problem of getting presentation videos delivered cheaply and fast and it doesn't look and sound artificial. It is by far the best solution I have come across so far.

The problem that Synthesia solves a lot for me is that I don't have to hire a professional voiceover artist or wait long for the finished videos. Instead, with Synthesia, I can produce marketing videos in a matter of minutes.

Especially solving the pain of translating videos to more than six languages every time.

We have built a training academy for our SaaS product with Synthesia. It currently consists of 39 videos over nine courses. Synthesia has enabled us to iterate extremely quickly on our customer onboarding videos. We even managed to produce 20 professional-looking training videos in just three weeks.

Mainly the onboarding process and we're currently working on small bites training sessions.

We're creating videos that are visually appealing and that can be easily edited at any point vs. having it done with real humans.

We create training videos for our employees, including onboarding videos and how-to videos for our internal software programs. We've created a lot of different videos now, and my biggest takeaway was that it is possible to create personalized videos on a large scale without it being really expensive and time-consuming. Just amazing!

Mainly simplifying the process of having a VIP do video in different languages.

I think you will most certainly solve my audio issue with LMS training modules.

It has made my life easier, now instead of shooting videos, I take the content to Synthesia and it does the rest for me.

Synthesia saves me time - I don't have to cut, edit, produce, recut, etc. Wowza!

We would be getting real tutors to introduce each course and topic, which would take forever and a lot of hard work dealing with individuals.

To create videos commenting on a slideshow presentation, Synthesia allows me to create shorter versions in a more direct approach. When you record a person presenting, they usually add unnecessary comments and lots of filler words.

We make many user communications and user instructions (multi-language) with Synthesia.

It's changing the way I traditionally produce videos and pitch clients - using avatars as my talent and AI voiceover on complex animated videos vs. a traditional sound recording.

Demos and proof of concepts about AI. We use it to showcase AI (video, voice, and content) and then explain how AI works. Also some internal communications.

Video advertising for a non-profit. I support, FAQ videos, videos for use in training.

With Synthesia, we're achieving faster course development times and lower costs of production.

E-learning experiences for high-volume production. We don't have time or budget to hire and record real human talent.

Synthesia allows us to use video formats where usually there is not enough time or money to do so. So far it's been used for training products (for our employees as well as for our customers) but also for internal communication like news, introducing software products, or explaining new processes.

Employee communications and external social media updates. How can we use video to develop more compelling alternatives to traditional slides and email updates? It avoids the need to create and edit videos with all the hassle of getting great sounding audio.

I am currently exploring the possibility of using AI videos for online learning and training. Apart from using expensive alternatives and filming people, this allows for a quick mockup of the learning program and seeing the results instantly. It certainly works better than using a static photo with a voiceover or animated characters.

It's not dependent on a real person and regular videos where you need to cut. Changes in the text can be made immediately.

People are obsessed with video as a solution but aren't willing to invest in it - Synthesia helps meet the need for video without having to put in any of the ordinary efforts.

I am creating some education videos on Synthesia which is working great.

Create content and information quickly and provide this to the company.

I wanted to kickstart some of the online user guides for a new product we are launching. Synthesia has "blown people away" when they see the quality of what is possible with an hour or two of work. The tool is also making us think about the overall scripting and messaging that we are trying to get across to the audience. How is it benefiting us? The rate of productivity is way beyond my expectations. I've churned out half a dozen videos in a couple of days and they just keep getting better. The tool is making the whole experience so easy.

The translation workflow could be better.

It can take some time to get used to developing videos, it won't be a get rich fast but it will certainly be a get rich quicker tool!

In general, there aren't things I dislike, if something it could be improved - the ability to add more than one audio in the same video. For example 1 slide would have one audio track which it may be different from the audio I want to use on slide #8 or #10.

It's disappointing that one cant add third party video content including sound.

Often times the preview won't play and I'll have to try multiple times, or refresh the page and try again. There are also some other bugs that appear from time to time, some appearing more often than I'd like.

I wish there were more options for pricing; it's either the basic, affordable monthly plan (which is somewhat limited), or the full-boat enterprise plan. Most SaaS companies have pricing tiers that can ramp you into paying more on a monthly basis.

The voice-acting and sometimes awkward gestures often feel inauthentic. It takes a fair amount of effort fiddling with settings and options to get an acceptable voice output.

It would be great to have more access to some of the business account features. Some of the business avatars seem really top notch. Perhaps Synthesia could do a mid-range option with access to all the business avatars?

I wish that all the old avatars had all the wicked new features of the new avatars, like gesture and emotion tweaking

Since it is browser based, sometimes it lags a bit and text might end up somewhere else then intended. Also, the steps from a template to a draft video to video could be more intuitive, now everything is a template until it is converted to a video.

There's not much to dislike about this. It's the top of the range technology right now. Improvements could be tweaking the lip sync, but right now it's so good already.

Synthesia should include more video templates in different dimensions like 1:1 or 4:5 ratio. Also, a 9:16 ratio will be very useful.

I would like the ability to brand the avatars with our logo and have some more choices as to clothing.

Some of the pronunciation is still a little cumbersome, but regular improvements from the developers have gone a long way to resolving these.

The speech and lip-sync still needs some work but is about 90% there.

Minor pronunciation errors with company names, but I found instructions on how to rewrite part of the text, which solved my problem.

Since I have been using Synthesia, many product updates have arrived. The product itself works really well. Some of the minority languages (like Swedish) don't sound as perfect as the English voice, but that's a minor thing.

The only thing missing are larger hand gestures, like I would normally see when someone says hello at the beginning of a video, but that's a very small detail.

The volume on the background music can't be adjusted, which is a shame. Also the video library has limited search functionality and there's no way to bookmark videos for later use which makes it a bit more time-consuming than it otherwise would.

Some of the more niche languages (e.g. Danish) vs. avatar facial expressions and lip movements still have some way to go, but we have been really impressed by the speed at which the product is improving.

I would love for the characters to have a bit more emotion in the body language and movement overall. It would be nice to have more videos available in accounts or more transparency on pricing for accounts that need lots of videos a month.

I wish to have a better choice of ethnically diverse avatars and a possibility to have more intonations for foreign languages, similar to the choice offered for English.

Adding visuals and animation is similar to other video tools. To really add compelling visual content does take some time and skill. I'd love to see more templates and eventually AI-generated visuals.

The only thing I dislike about the software isn't really a dislike, but a minor headache. I wish Google Translate was integrated into the text box so I could select the language I want to use.

Editing tools are limited, but improving as they build out the platform. There is no translation capability to support the many languages you can now produce video in with this tool.

It takes quite a bit of time to get the final product complete, but it's not too bad.

Lack of lip synchronization preview from chosen avatar!

Some of the phrase endings are a bit distracting; however, this is not true of all voices and is not a deterrent to our continued use.

Lack of timeline feature for situations where you'd like to have more control over the animation effect of specific elements in the video.

Overall, the tool is excellent. I only wish maybe the ability to have more than 6 slides for more content.

I'd love to be able to preview the video before rendering, as a few of my projects require time constraints, plus I'd like to be able to preview the finished product before committing a monthly credit.

There are limits to what you can do with an upper-body view. Research shows that non-verbal hand gestures can be impactful to user perceptions, but this is not something that can be controlled.

We are waiting for more features to remove the need for all other video-editing software.

Since this is a cloud-based solution, I felt a few times that there were some very minor delays. The product team must be continuously working on optimizing this wonderful solution.

So far, there isn't a way to make videos in a vertical format, but I just found out they are currently working on that feature so I am extremely grateful.

I'm hoping they expand features so I can make longer videos with more moving parts. I'm extremely happy with what I'm able to do now, and I can't wait to see what's coming in the future. This changes everything for us, saving us so much time with hand-holding customers.

I wish you could see the AI in preview, but I understand why not. I wish I could create my own avatar or voice.

It takes some time to generate the videos, which can break the workflow. I'm sure the speed will improve over time.

The product is quite young but new features are added on a regular basis. Sometimes our creativity is ahead of the product and we would like all types of new features, which are of course not in the product yet ;-)

For now, there aren't many things that I am not happy with. However, it would be nice to increase the number of avatars and voices over time (which I am sure is being taken care of right now).

The product is constantly being expanded and improved. If something is missing now - it will certainly be added in the future.

Mass generation of videos can be improved; we'd like to create millions per day, all personalized, but that's not an option yet. I know it'll come though; they've been adding new features very regularly.

It would be nice to have more tools for edited videos, such as the ability to obscure parts of text, etc.

Sometimes the avatar might come across as a bit unnatural with their breathing while talking. But this will only improve as the product grows; I also don't like that it is difficult to see your current credit at any time.

I would like to see more actors and with different sizes (full body, etc.). The pronunciation of questions needs improvement.

Only a few times do the videos buffer, that's the only drawback.

It would be great to see a full preview without creating the video.

Some of the (older) voices do sound a little weird. Maybe focus more on quality instead of quantity with the voices. Don't get me wrong, most of them are exceptionally well done!

I want to be able to see the Avatar work during the time I'm building the video for my viewing.

That I didn't know about this software sooner.

So far, this platform has not disappointed me in any sense whatsoever. That being said, the only thing I would like to see added is more options for clothing for the avatars.

It would be nice to see credits used and credits left each month so you can plan your work to fit the monthly schedule better. I would also like to be able to buy additional credits when required.

I would like to have the feature to blur the backgrounds and also tint the character's skin as per the background colors to fit in best.

You still need a good script. There are no done-for-you scripts.... however, there are some good templates and case studies to start your thinking.

One thing I can't see is who viewed it. It would be nice to be able to track who opened the video, how long they watched the video, and if they shared the video with others.

I wish it had its own Text generation software built in like GPT3. Maybe one day they can put both the Text generation with the video format.

The platform is still working out some bugs within the program to improve the speed and other hidden features that the public may not typically see. I would like to see the lagging improve over time.

What I don't like about Synthesia is when we use bullet points. The manual process of finding the timing to sync the screen text appearance with the avatar's speech is time consuming.

It is necessary to improve some of the avatar's gestures and give them more exciting expressions.

My spoken language, Hungarian, is complex, so it is difficult for the system to follow when I am asking something, especially at the end of interrogative sentences. The speaker should raise their voice a lot on these words.

More editing tools would be a plus, which I am sure will be gradually added in the future.

What I do not like so much is the editing of the avatar's pauses. In the area where you insert the text, there should be a menu bar that allows you to click on it and insert pauses or gestures.

Some languages are better than others, but in the time that we have been customers, it has improved drastically.

Some avatars work better than others. I would like a larger selection of avatars. Sometimes the speech does not match perfectly with the avatar's lip movements.

I cannot change the avatar's dress code.

The limitations of slides can sometimes make it challenging to squeeze all the content into one video, but there is always the option of creating it under a new video.

Nothing really. If I had to comment on anything, it would be the pronunciation of my last name, which was not correct to begin with. But you can change that to make it right.

One main issue is the performance, which can sometimes feel a bit sluggish.

I am on the basic plan and I am only able to use six slides per video, which can be tedious for larger projects.

There are still instances where the words become misaligned if you look closely, but it tends to only be a few exceptions. It is great for "explainer" videos.

Only being able to create six videos per month on the personal plan is a limitation.

Voices for languages such as Portuguese are limited. The preview feature does not give a precise idea of the avatar's behavior and movements (on the preview, a still image of the avatar is displayed, probably due to processing issues).

Perhaps more avatars will be available in the future? It would be nice to have more office worker options.

Nothing - but I can't wait for more options and for the product to continue evolving and changing the way I can create videos with a few clicks.

Although I like everything about Synthesia, I would like to be able to modify videos more easily. It's a little strange that I need to duplicate and modify a video to make changes. Maybe it's just me, or maybe there is a better way that I haven't figured out.

I have not found anything to dislike yet. Maybe the cost of getting my own avatar as a private (non-corporate) user.

Would be great to be able to add frame-by-frame subtitles.

Their avatar library has grown significantly over the past months, making it more flexible to use throughout different programs, assigning one identity to each learning program. Their web application has also scaled very fast in terms of features, including video backgrounds or image overlays. It's just getting better and better every week.

The product is still in development, and as a user, I sometimes need to use creative workarounds. However, I do appreciate that I feel like Synthesia approaches this by making our company's needs part of further product developments.

On the personal plan, there is a limitation on the number of slides currently allowed. It would also be great to be able to import videos as backgrounds and have more templates.

Not all writing styles are suitable. In some cases, avatars will struggle with more natural human expressions and intonations, such as irony, sarcasm, and joyful exclamations. With limited online video editing, it falls short in terms of precise timing of elements, as there's no timeline to work with.Only front-facing poses are available.

The range of avatars is too small, and the voices are very American-oriented. European languages don't sound as good as American ones.

If you plan to produce a lot of videos, Synthesia lacks organization and sorting tools. You can't organize videos into folders. Since there's no way to organize your multiple versions, it can be tough to keep track of things if you're working on multiple projects at once.

I would prefer a longer slide limit, like 10, rather than the current 6.

Some features are still missing, for example, importing full videos with sound.

It would be good to be able to slow the speaker down to assist non-native English speakers.

There is no way to place emphasis on certain words in your script. Also, because I didn't watch the tutorials, I didn't realize that you should create a template so that you can edit your videos.

The only thing I'm working around is the resolution in uploaded PowerPoint images. Not a big deal as I simply convert them to .JPGs, which allows flexibility with the animations. The animations are great, by the way. The fade-in and fade-out capabilities are so cool. Way beyond what you can do in PowerPoint (from my experience).
