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.

User Reviews

G2
Synthesia is an exceptional platform that revolutionizes video creation. Its intuitive interface, vast avatar library, and realistic voiceovers make professional-grade videos accessible to everyone.

Pros

Ease of use, speed of video creation, wide selection of avatars and languages, cost-effective compared to traditional video production.

Cons

Limited customization options for avatars themselves, occasional minor lip-sync inaccuracies, some template limitations.

Capterra
Synthesia allows us to create engaging training videos quickly and at scale. The ability to update scripts and regenerate videos without re-filming is a game-changer.

Pros

Scalability, ease of updating videos, consistency across videos, accessibility for non-video professionals.

Cons

Avatar expressions can sometimes feel slightly unnatural, custom avatars can be expensive, reliance on text input rather than full creative freedom over visuals.
