Helpful in Every Way
What do you like best about the product?
I am beyond happy with Synthesia and its ability to enhance my company's blog posts tenfold. It makes the content more fun and engaging for readers, and it's still easy for me to implement, as someone who isn't a video creator. If you're looking to improve your blog posts in unique ways, these videos are the way to do it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The actual AI avatars often end up looking quite funky when generated, so I only rely on voice overs for my videos. I think that could be improved. Also, the pronunciation and pausing that the avatars take can be unnatural; I've often found that it sounds like they are about to start another sentence but don't, and I assume my viewers also notice that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia is helping me and my company with our low engagement rates within blogs. Once we started implementing these videos, the time that people spent on our pages skyrocketed, and our engagement rates have improved significantly, too.
Simple and Easy, This is how its done!
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia has made our video creating workflow so much simpler. It was very easy to get started on the software and generate a video in a matter of minutes. The built in examples really fast track creating content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there were more AI personalities to choose from that support the new version. They look so much more lifelike then the older AI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to work around people schedules to film, edit and re-film content. Its super easy to generate and get the final result the first time.
Mandatory Tool for Share knowlodge and faster
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Synthesia is its ability to transform text into realistic and engaging videos quickly and efficiently. This advanced AI technology allows for the creation of human avatars that can communicate messages clearly and professionally without the need for a recording studio or actors. This not only saves time and resources but also offers incredible flexibility to customize content according to the specific needs of the target audience.
Moreover, the platform is extremely user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that enables even those without technical expertise to create high-quality videos. The ability to easily adjust the language, tone, and style of the avatars makes Synthesia a powerful tool for diverse communication needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the creation and editing features are not the best on the platform, but they are improving every month. I believe this is part of the process towards greater maturity. A significant positive aspect is that the support team is very responsive and attentive to user feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster and cheap than regular studio, however need knowhow to deal with creation.
A solid product with room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to create videos with this solution; it feels almost like creating a presentation in Google Slides or PowerPoint.
The amount of avatars available to choose from gives enough variety to your videos.

What do you dislike about the product?
Speech pronunciation in languages other than English can sometimes sound robotic or mispronounced. I've noticed this with Spanish, and it sounds quite unnatural.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to present results in more varied ways. Instead of scheduling meetings or sending text-based reports, I can have an avatar present the information more dynamically.
The best and simple video editing software with quality templates.
What do you like best about the product?
AI explains the script way better and the avatars are very professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I do not like about synthesia.

Amazing.
What do you like best about the product?
I've only been using Synthesia for a relatively short time but I love it so far. The Avatars, when they speak, are so life-like and the speech is almost perfect.
I find Synthesia very easy to use, and I use it a few times per week. The trial period is generous and the Starter Plan I'm on is fairly reasonable.

What do you dislike about the product?
Besides pauses, there doesn't seem to be any other way to control the speech, like emphasising words, speed of speech, etc.
I would prefer a usage-based system of paying, eg. credits, rather than a monthly subscription. There may be months where I don't use it at all.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia is enabling me to include a human-like character in various content rather than recording myself, which I prefer not to do.
Good Platform with Room to Grow, Feature-wise. Definitely Recommend a 24/7 Manual Moderation Team
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve just started using Synthesia, and I have found few competitors match the quality it offers. If you're looking for a relatively easy-to-learn AI presentation platform to create engaging videos for your business, Synthesia provides a good suite of features. I was able to take my PowerPoint and transform it into an engaging presentation with plenty of avatar options representing diverse appearances and backgrounds.
I created the presentation myself using Synthesia’s helpful Learn videos, especially their guide on making engaging PowerPoint AI videos, which provided great tips. Despite initial troubles, their customer service reached out to me early the next day and assisted with the upload until the issue was resolved. They were friendly and patient, which I appreciated.
One detail I appreciated is that avatars don’t just stop moving when not speaking—they sway and blink like real people, a nice touch that shows attention to detail. This makes the presentations more lifelike and engaging.
I'm particularly excited about the updates coming later in 2024, which might allow for hand movements and full-body animations, enhancing the realism of the avatars even further.

What do you dislike about the product?
However, some of the earlier avatars could benefit from updates. While I might prefer their look, they often have fewer real-life expressions and voice options. I’m on the month-to-month plan at $89.00, and I did encounter some trouble uploading my original PowerPoint using their AI tool (which stayed in the loading phase for a while). Unfortunately, tech support had already left for the day when I needed help.
The main reason I’m giving an 8 out of 10 is the moderation period. If you finish a project outside of their working hours, you might miss a tight deadline since Synthesia manually reviews all content before release. While I understand the need for this to prevent misuse, having a 24/7 moderation team would significantly reduce bottlenecks and help meet deadlines.
Currently, avatars that include the head and torso mainly have moving heads, which can look odd. I’d also love to see more modern-looking avatars that reflect people you’d see in major cities.
Despite these issues, it’s a solid platform. I created more engaging videos than with static PowerPoints, and I’m excited to see how Synthesia evolves as technology advances.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wanted to make a more engaging presentation for our company.
Cool thing, I must admit for something in this early stage it's already quite cool
What do you like best about the product?
Quality of the Videos and number of Avatars, Easy to use, currently in daily use
What do you dislike about the product?
Lip Sync has room for improvement, also a full integrated working would be nice (e.g. Audio to Text, Basic Video Editing)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating and updating easily training material
Amazing speed to create training and communications video - the cost saving is considerable.
What do you like best about the product?
The reduced time to create a professionally looking video. The avatars are compelling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough language options for New Zealand and Māori language support. Further diversity of avatars for the region to be representative of New Zealand cultures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With no dedicated internal training team means that training is always an afterthought whereas in a human centric world it should be a priority! As a change manager I always have limited time and resource so this was the ultimate answer to move quickly supporting training and adoption. Ironically, Synthesia and the use of AI was also used as the vehicle to drive more change capability through embracing and innovatively using AI.
Great tool for how-to videos
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of making demo and how-to videos. With AI voices and multiple scenes it's really easy to update a video if the product changes without having to re-record the entire thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much. I'm not so interested in the AI avatars but it often encourages me to use them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to quickly make demo videos that can then be edited very quickly if something in the product changes (as it often does in SaaS).
