What is Synthesia?

Synthesia is the enterprise AI video platform built for Learning and Development teams to create, translate, and keep training content current at scale. Turn text into studio‑quality videos with realistic avatars, natural voices, and accurate lip‑sync—no actors, cameras, or editing skills required. Produce onboarding, compliance, and role‑based modules in minutes, then update them just as quickly when policies or products change.

Go beyond passive video with interactivity. Add chaptering, on‑screen prompts, and clickable calls‑to‑action when embedded, or pair Synthesia videos with your authoring tool or LMS to incorporate quizzes, branching, and assessments. Localise globally in one workflow with one‑click translation, pronunciation controls, and language coverage tailored to your key markets.

Maintain consistency and control with brand templates, roles and permissions, review flows, and version history. Export MP4 and caption files for any LMS/LXP or authoring tool, embed anywhere your learners are, and track performance via your existing stack. Enterprise‑grade security, SSO, and governance ensure content is safe and compliant—while dramatically reducing time and cost versus traditional production.

Overview of Synthesia benefits

  • Create training videos fast: Publish studio‑quality content in minutes from text—no actors, cameras, or editing skills required.
  • Keep content always current: Edit the script and regenerate to roll out policy, product, or compliance updates across markets the same day.
  • Scale globally with confidence: Translate and dub in many languages with accurate lip‑sync and pronunciation controls to maintain clarity and trust.
  • Engage learners, not just viewers: Add chaptering and clickable CTAs when embedded, or pair videos with your authoring tool or LMS to add quizzes and branching.
  • Stay on brand and in control: Brand templates, roles and permissions, approvals, and version history ensure consistency and governance at enterprise scale.
  • Plug into your learning stack: Export MP4 and caption files for any LMS/LXP or authoring tool, and embed wherever your learners are.
  • Reduce production time and cost: Replace studio shoots with a repeatable, secure workflow that delivers faster cycles and lower total cost of ownership.
  • Make content human and familiar: Choose from a library of high‑quality AI avatars or create approved personal/brand avatars for recognisable spokespeople.

What do you like best? Considering the time and cost savings Synthesia provides, many users find it to be a worthwhile investment. The platform's ability to produce high-quality videos quickly justifies the subscription costs for many businesses.
What do you dislike? While Synthesia is a powerful tool, it has its limitations. The AI avatars, although realistic, may not fully capture the nuances of human expression. Additionally, the platform's reliance on pre-set templates might limit creative freedom for some users.

What do you like best? Lifelike human avatars speaking naturally... and in 50+ different languages? Yes! Even though the app is still in its early stages, it contains lots of advanced features (API's, PowerPoint Import), and lots of new features are being added frequently. I like that I can send one link to my clients so they can watch, listen and choose their favourite 'actor'. After developing the video, I can send the link (my source file/work) to the client - another excellent feature!
What do you dislike? Although the video editor is easy to use, it falls short for more precise timing of elements, as there's no timeline to work with. I guess, for more advanced video editing, there are plenty of apps and software for that
