What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good to have the option to 'top-up' your minutes without upgrading to a new plan. I've found that if I generated a video and I've got to make a minor amend (to the animation, for example), I'm unable to re-generate it, which can be frustrating when you have deadlines to stick to.
Another suggestion would be to add more realistic British English voices to the library. I've found that there are a lot more options for American English accents than British English.

very easy to use, and great quality - had been a boon to my course development and saved me a fortune in recording costs

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating educational short form video content
It;s certaonly getting there!
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use and you can draft video decks very quickly. Is a game-changer in terms of being able to create content quickly and effectively.

In the free version, you are given avatars that don't quite hit the mark in terms of motion and voice, which may out you off upgrading.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to create more pitches and content at 5 times the amount before.
The right tool for training teams
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to integrate custom videos elevates training videos to a new level of engagement. The integration process is remarkably simple, enabling me to incorporate my own visuals and create immersive learning experiences that resonate deeply with audiences. With Synthesia, language barriers vanish, and custom videos ignite the power of storytelling, making training materials both informative and unforgettable in any language I choose.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Synthesia excels in many areas, one notable drawback is the lack of a comprehensive video editing suite within the platform. For users who require advanced editing capabilities, such as trimming, cropping, or adding effects to background videos, they may find themselves having to rely on external software for this. This can introduce additional steps into the workflow and disrupt the seamless experience that Synthesia aims to provide.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One specific example of how Synthesia has benefited our organization is in the case of limited training budgets, and the need to deliver regulatory training to the field. Synthesia's affordable pricing model and ability to translate videos into multiple languages and create engaging content can help any organization to overcome these challenges and ensure that their regulatory training is accessible and effective for all employees, regardless of their location or language proficiency.
It is useful for my training materials
What do you like best about the product?
I like avatars and templates( slides, images, videos)
What do you dislike about the product?
Hungarian voices are not too perfect. The Hungarian voices little bit is "robotic voice " ....need development
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My e-learning training videos include "live" speakers.
Amazing tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia makes the video creation much easier than the traditional process (going to a studio, recording multiple takes, editing them, getting corrections, etc). Editing in Synthesia is as simple as editing a slide presentation, and this makes the software very useful! And above it all, the support team is very fast at answering questions and verifying possible issues!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see any downsides yet, the ones that I saw were related to the support team and repaired as fast as possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Synthesia is solving for us is having more effective ways of communicating with employees than only text, and the economy of the hours needed to record and edit a video normally.
Synthesia keeps getting better
What do you like best about the product?
The editing features make it really intuitive to author engaging videos. Synthesia tools make it easy to animate the layout of scenes with pin point accuracy as to script timing and specific behaviours.
The customer support has been great, whenever I had a issue I got quick, helpful, responses.

What do you dislike about the product?
The web based system is sometimes slow to respond, this can cause issues if mutiple buttons are pressed, easy to fix with undo and redo but can still cause issues. The new layers feature is helpful but could be even better with ability to group images into layers... this could hepkl reduce the required number of sceness... lack of copatibility with SCORM...
some of the avatars have idiosyncratic behaviors, eye brow raising or mount scrunching.
It is sometimes hard to determine what order images will be displayed in, and and animating them since they are layered

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My clients have siginificant person to person onboarding activities, especially for new customers. The activitis involve lengthy planning and scheduling, followed by periodic meetings. The videos I create for my client eliminate/reduce the need for these repetitive meetings, creating an even more engaging experience, one that is scaleable to larger audiences and many clients.
Taking my material to the next level
What do you like best about the product?
Every body knows that putting a face to a message dramatically improves the quality of perception and memorization of the message by the audience. Synthesia made it very simple, fast and afford able! In my team we don't have to worry amymore about organizing a shooting, casting speakers, fighting for a budget to cover the costs. Its all at the fingertips with significantly less costs and minimal time and effort.
What excites me the most is the great choice of speakers and voices I can mix & match to adjust the speaker to the message, its tonality and status.
Apart from the very professional looking presentation presets, I often use the stock data to boost customization even further.
I use AI scripts assistant for lengthy presentation where detailed clarification is necessary and this smart assistent dramatically accelerates my copy-writing.
Sure, some messages absolutely require a live speaker, but in 90% it does not. And Synthesia cover up for it.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would keep including more asian models - Japanese, Korean, Chinese. There is a great demand for avatar with certain visual standards, and having them would certainly help to communicate with the Asian audience more effective and professionally.
Technically I would keep trying to neutralise the light effects, such as overly warm/cool light, such as light reflexes on the face of the avatars, etc. That way all the avatar would qualify for any setting. Right now some really great ones cant be used for every occasion.
Also I would improve the avatar search filters and make it more precise. For examples, when I look for an " asian avatar", I dont get all the asian models in the pool but only some. I have to manually go through the list, which can be time consuming and bulky since the pool of avatar is great and getting only bigger every quarter.
Its probable that Synthesia got us hooked on the high comfort level and now we complain about small things.)))).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used a lot of audio records to create educational material. Now, I am able to visualize a lot of it in a more professional and human manner. This improves the quality of my material dramatically.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
Its a fantastic way to communicate with customers and express ideas in an AI format.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit slow to get the videos approved, something which will improve over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its great for communicating ideas to customers, you can input text and an AI synth will read it.
