Synthesia saves time for both SMEs and IDs. SMEs no longer need to record themselves, allowing them to focus on their primary responsibilities. IDs can create high-quality training content in less time.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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!
