The solution has good usability, and videos created through it have HD quality

  • October 16, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I used Synthesia to create a pitch deck for my client, who needed to pitch an idea as an advertisement to his team. The solution is used to create advertisements, presentations, and videos.

What is most valuable?

Synthesia videos have HD quality, and the text and animations are better than other platforms.

What needs improvement?

The process of creating Synthesia enterprise accounts should be made more straightforward.

I lost two clients because I was trying to book an enterprise account for my client's project and could not do it. I reached out to Synthesia about booking a demo for the accounts but did not get any response. Then, they told me that to book a Synthesia enterprise account, I would have to pay an annual subscription.

The only issue I face with Synthesia is that there is a time limit to the amount of video I can create at a stretch. I cannot create a ten-minute video at a stretch. Instead, I will have to create shorter videos of three or two minutes to make the video ten minutes long.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Synthesia for ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Synthesia a seven out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Synthesia a seven out of ten for scalability.

How are customer service and support?

Synthesia's customer support team didn't address my issue related to creating an enterprise account.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Negative

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is difficult.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Synthesia's pricing for the basic accounts is okay, but it would be better if it could be reduced. There is no fixed price for the Synthesia enterprise account, and I really want to know how its pricing works.

What other advice do I have?

Synthesia is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Synthesia has better usability, and its UI allows me to explore many things. I would recommend Synthesia to other users.

Overall, I rate Synthesia an eight out of ten.

What do you like best about the product?
Very helpful for us is the excellent support of the German language, as we are selling our Cloud ERP solution to SMEs in the DACH region
What do you dislike about the product?
As a daily user of my Apple iPad Air I'd love editing support on the iPad. Is not too big of a problem, though, editing on my Mac is not complicated.

Marketing messages to potential customers.

Product presentations.

I consider Synthesia to be the best AI solution on the market today for converting text to video.

  • October 12, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
easy to use, diversity of avatars, a wide choice of natural voices, new features such as nodding, brow lifting, extra pauses
What do you dislike about the product?
I hope for the development of synchronization and improvement of "speech abilities". We are looking forward to additional voices for the Ukrainian language (now they are too artificial)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the ability to create video content fast and affordable in any language we need for multi markets

It's a great tool

  • October 12, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a great tool that saves a lot of time and effort. I liked how they train their users on how to use their tools and gain knowledge that empowers them to develop their careers. I also liked the course they offered about FOCA, which was very helpful for me, and I hope they can offer more courses.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could have more avatars on my annual plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't need much video editing and their ready templates and video examples make the designing very easy, save a lot of time, and look professional.

Presentations and Explainations Made Easy with Synthesia AI

  • October 11, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how Sythesia can help present and explain things that are too complex or detailed for text and images alone. Most people just read headlines and conclusions with a 4-second attention span. Offering a video presentation snags enough extra time to develop more interest and lowers the bounce rate. Many social media platforms reward MP$ videos with greater exposure and a higher click-through rate to a landing page.

The Sythesia Avatars are an easy way to provide video directions for accomplishing tasks on a website.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want to use Sythesia Avatars in website development to walk users through step-by-step tasks. It would be great to have the ability to pause between scenes with a start button to resume the process so that users could go at their own pace. Trying to guess the amount of time people need will have a negative effect on those who are slow and or fast completing the task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Decreasing the Bounce Rate on presenting information that appears to be too much text or too complicated to read.

What do you like best about the product?
Impressive Avatar Capabilities: One of the standout features of Synthesia is its ability to generate realistic avatars. The software uses advanced technology to animate avatars, giving them lifelike movements and expressions.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some languages, synchronization may be more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Support is very helpful

Helps to generate audio and video using AI avatars

  • October 10, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We used Synthesia for AI speech and videos. We have done audio support for written text in multimodal learning. It helped us generate audio for different languages and create promotional materials for courses and certifications.

What is most valuable?

Before Synthesia, recording a 20-minute script could take about one to two days. I had to review the recording to find background noise and edit it. If any change was identified, I had to redo the project. However, with Synthesia, I can have a recording within 20 minutes. It would only need minor tweaks. You could tell the difference between AI recording and human recording, but it improved the course of time in which we made the recording. Our Japanese customers didn't believe that it was AI voice.

The tool's most valuable feature is quickly converting text into a usable audio format. It converts quality text to audio with an accent appropriate for regional dialects.

What needs improvement?

The AI avatars are good, but sometimes they have unnatural movements. The lip-syncing needs to be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for five months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Synthesia's stability an eight out of ten. There were occasional delays and downtime, which were not significant.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

Synthesia is very good with the support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We selected Synthesia because it had a good ramp-up and multi-user support. They have realistic sound compared to other tools.

How was the initial setup?

The tool's initial deployment is trivial. You need to sign up on the platform.

What was our ROI?

You can get the recordings done in minimum time and access international markets.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the product a seven out of ten.

Perfect tool for creating training videos

  • October 10, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use; if you can use Powerpoint, you can use Synthesia. The technology keeps improving and, because the Synthesia team are very open about their roadmap and upcoming features, you know what's coming soon too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The technology does work better with some languages and accents than others, but it's improving all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating training videos is a much quicker task now, as the AI avatars don't need several takes to read the text correctly. I've cut the time to create a training video by at least half.
