Facilitate the Creation of Realistic Avatars, but Could Improve its Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like the realism of the avatars in Synthesia, which really makes the videos look authentic and professional. Additionally, I appreciate the ease of editing that the platform offers. I'm surprised at how simple it is to customize avatars and create content without complications. The simplicity and efficiency in daily use are features that I consider very valuable and that greatly facilitate the video production process for my agency's social media.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the editor does not have the option to view all the layers, which makes it a bit complicated when making more complex videos. I think the editing interface could be improved quite a bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to create realistic avatars and videos for social media without relying on real recordings, improving the ease of editing for my agency.
User-Friendly Platform with Great Features, But Limited Access for Smaller Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the platform is user friendly - It offers a lot of features that offer high quality results for not that much effort. It's easy to figure out without looking a tutorial. I love that I can import videos custom from other sights like Canva.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that you could download a SCORM files as a creator. My company isn't large enough to qualify for the Enterprise plan, so it's a bit unfair that I pay for the more expensive plan I can get while not being able to use all the features.
I also wish that you could see a selection pane for each scene so I can hide or show one or more objects at a time; I often have to create several layers of visuals for the final product and if I ever have to make adjustment to the bottom layer, I have to move every single shape/text box, then make sure I move them back into place.
Lastly, a lot of the AI voices need pronunciation help. You can fix some of the issues by adding pronunciations or using commas/ellipses, but it difficult to inject excitement and tone into the script. Sometime the exclamation points make the AI voice yell.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia is allowing us to create professional training content without having to hire designers and engineers. We used to spend a lot of time trying to get the perfect voice recording for training videos and that gave it a "homemade" feel, so being able to create AI and high quality graphics saves us a lot of time.

Clear, Natural AI Speech Enhances Training Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The AI speaker which speaks through the training content clearly and with the right intonation. It's extremely easy to get started. I was able to create my first training with very limited experience with the tool. It's allowed me to create trainings from scratch very easily.

I would like the ability to more easily have the AI person make gestures, although this has improved over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of creating video trainings without having to film myself to make it more engaging.

Expressive Avatars, Clear Branding Communication
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the expressive avatars in Synthesia; they are amazing and add immense value to our content creation process. These avatars are extremely lifelike and appear real, which makes the communication of our branding message clear, consistent, and engaging. The avatars contribute significantly to making the content more dynamic and appealing, enhancing the overall presentation on our websites. Additionally, the initial setup for Synthesia is very straightforward, which made transitioning from HeyGen seamless for our team. This efficiency enhances our ability to produce high-quality content quickly and without hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that most avatars in Synthesia lack forehead expressions, which could really enhance the realism and engagement if improved. Additionally, I would appreciate having the ability to insert gesture prompts directly within the script, as this would allow for more nuanced and expressive communication within the content produced.

I use Synthesia to produce content for our websites, and it effectively communicates branding messages clearly, consistently, and in an engaging way.
Effortless Video Creation, Major Time Saver
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how Synthesia offers the ability to create quick and easy videos with avatars simply by writing scripts, which saves both time and money. The ease of operation without the need for extensive instructions is a significant benefit, allowing me to jump right into creating videos without a steep learning curve. The straightforward setup process enhances this convenience. Even though I'm currently using it for simple videos, the potential to improve video quality in the future is promising. The speed at which I can produce these videos is highly beneficial, especially since I'm managing the tasks without a team. Synthesia's capacity to support projects solo, eliminating the necessity of hiring additional help, is invaluable. I give Synthesia a strong rating of 8.5 to 9, owing to its efficiency and ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customizing the video backgrounds with timings on text and other enhancements feels a bit complicated. I haven't been able to fully grasp it, and due to time constraints, I haven't dug deep enough into it. It would be helpful if there was a marketplace attached where I could reach out to someone else to handle that work for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to quickly create employee orientation and marketing videos, saving both time and money by easily generating content with avatars. It helps me operate without a team, simplifying the process with just scripts.
Easy Video Creation, But Needs Avatar Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Synthesia's AI feature that allows me to simply input a script, and it seamlessly converts it into a video. This functionality is incredibly efficient and saves me a significant amount of time. I also value the flexibility Synthesia offers by enabling me to use its inbuilt templates, which prevents me from having to start the video creation process from scratch. This feature enhances my workflow and makes producing content much more streamlined. Furthermore, the initial setup process of Synthesia was straightforward, as I didn't encounter much difficulty in understanding the dashboard, which made the transition smooth and user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not very impressed by Synthesia, particularly with the custom avatar feature. The lip-sync and audio from the customized avatar did not meet my expectations, as they are not very good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to transform scripts into videos effortlessly using AI, saving time by not starting from scratch and utilizing inbuilt templates.
