Synthesia
Overview
Synthesia is a leading AI video generation platform that transforms text scripts into professional-looking videos featuring realistic AI avatars. Instead of hiring actors, filming, and editing, users simply type or paste their script, select from over 140 diverse AI avatars (or create their own custom avatar), choose from over 120 languages and accents, and the platform generates a video where the chosen avatar speaks the script with natural lip-sync and intonation. This capability is sometimes marketed as a 'deepfake' style generator due to the realism of the generated human likeness and voice, although it primarily uses synthetic media and avatars rather than manipulating existing footage of real people. Synthesia is widely used by businesses for creating training videos, marketing content, internal communications, and educational material, drastically reducing the time, cost, and complexity of video production.
