Great Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia's intuitive interface makes video creation accessible to users with varying levels of technical skill. The drag-and-drop functionality and straightforward controls streamline the entire process.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Synthesia offers a decent range of customization options, some users may find the level of fine-tuning limited compared to more complex video editing tools.

Creating a Learning management system for my Supply.
Stable product with valuable voiceover features
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The application helps our organization with creating video animations and voiceovers.
What is most valuable?
The product has a valuable feature for creating voiceovers.
What needs improvement?
There could be an option to minimize the character’s expression in the animated videos. Also, they should work on the feature to include two voices simultaneously in one video.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Synthesia for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the application’s scalability an eight out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. There could be more features to control and customize the voiceovers and video creation per our requirements.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Synthesia and rate it a nine out of ten.
overall good. the platform is evolving and improving. some way to go. excited about it
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use. fast creation time. big wow factor from viewers. cost effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
bugs in softeware and UX cause wasted time respeating actions / videos. Support is generally quite good though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
quickly create videos which would take ages to film. saves us a lot of time and money
The product is cheap, it saves time, and it is very good for internal training purposes
What is our primary use case?
I evaluated the tool for internal training projects.
What is most valuable?
Synthesia is very good for internal training and messaging as it saves time. Previously, for me to create an asset, I needed to use several resources, including actors, studios, and lighting, all of which took considerable planning.
With Synthesia, it is easier. It has a wide range of digital actors, integrates with generative AI solutions such as ChatGPT, and continues to evolve with new features such as its new translation tool.
This makes distribution to diverse audiences much simpler.
What needs improvement?
I would be reluctant to use the solution for customer-facing products. The digital actors’ lips are typically out of sync, and their mannerisms can sometimes feel off. This can potentially create a disconnect with the audience. It is for that reason; real actors would be preferred for customer-facing assets. They have a greater capacity to show empathy, excitement, and passion in their delivery.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is fine. It’s a fantastic product and perfect for certain use cases. My only reservation would be for customer-facing productions. The lip synchronization can sometimes look like a badly dubbed film and if the avatar looks off camera, then psychologically it looks as if they are lying
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am the only one using the product in my organization.
How are customer service and support?
I have never contacted the technical support team. It is a very easy product.
How was the initial setup?
There is no installation required. It's a web-based, SaaS product. We just log on to the portal. It is also super easy to use. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The solution is cost-effective and relatively cheap. I also believe the product is coming out with new personal and enterprise packages.
I've only used it to evaluate. If I were to recommend it to someone, I don't think that the cost of the product would be a detractor.

What other advice do I have?
I have used the solution for a couple of projects. It's a product that I actively follow. It has some really strong points, but it has some slight issues as well.
Everything that Synthesia is doing can be done with other tools, but the beauty of this product is that it is all collated into a nice, easy to use package.The product impressed me because it wasn't a huge learning curve. Simply type the script, choose your avatar and the tool generates the content.
This is invaluable for smaller organizations that do not have the budget, time, or resources to bring in real-life actors and means that changes can be made on the fly and not require costly reproduction.
I would recommend this product for evaluation; it is not ready for every project but would be my go-to solution in cases where digital actors (and their associated quirks) were deemed acceptable.
Remember, digital actors require lots of back-end processing, yes the models could be refined, but this would require more resources and ultimately reflect in elevated subscription pricing.
The software is a game changer and deserves all of the hype and praise it gets on social media. The tool is invaluable for companies that can't afford a studio or perhaps need to change content on the fly, especially in learning and development.
The digital actors are not quite on par with human actors, which we would expect.
Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
The billing is not good or easy to manage as it’s all contained in the desktop version
What do you like best about the product?
The avatars are good and diverse enough.
What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop version for everything including billing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed
I like Synthesia for the variety of Avatars
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of looks and dialects of Avatars is impressive and gives a lot of flexability to use them in various locales.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lip Sync was just a bit off. Not easily contacted for sales or partnership inquiries. Features were robust enough with backgrounds changed quickly and the interface was easy to use and understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are a great presentation software but the Avatars do lack some personality.
Training Content made easy!
What do you like best about the product?
What we like about Synthesia are the Avatars, and the ability to add different types of media. The text, the presentation. the fact that they evolve quickly. For example the different accents i.e. Nigerian English. The UI is very user-friendly. We make videos for training almost 3-5 every two months.
What do you dislike about the product?
Move Value to be provided for Annual Subscribers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Relatable training videos.
So good, I'm convincing my company to purchase a subscription
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, even for a luddite like myself. There are so many features available, even at the lowest price point. The avatars and voices are great. It's been so good to use for my coursework (in learning design & technology) that I've convinced my boss to purchase licenses for myself and my collegues. We are instructional designers and will be doing a lot eLearning modules in the near future. Synthesia is great for making training come 'alive.'
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that I could have two or more avatars per scene.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's bringing our paper-based exercises using scenarios in training to 'life'
Big Game Changer for Content Creation
What do you like best about the product?
It has so many options for creating tutorial videos. I was even thinking if only I could run bullet points alongside the speaker. And there is it. A provision for doing precisely that. For me its a God send.
What do you dislike about the product?
That I have not been allowed undiluted access to the entire suite. I want to stay up all night creating content with Synthesia. I also want to get an affiliate link to market Synthesia. I might as well. I'm selling it already. I actually want to become a partner with Synthesia where I create bespoke content for companies. Who to speak ??
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Without Synthesia, I would have had to feature myself in my sales videos and I have a face for radio. So very happy to have avatars read my scripts.
Impressive
What do you like best about the product?
I like the end result. The system is impressive and quite easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that i cannot forward my credits to the next month. I paid for them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it gives my business that professional edge.
