Effortless, Professional Videos in Minutes—A Game-Changer for Training Content
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Synthesia is how quickly it turns a script into a polished, professional video without needing a camera, mic, or editing skills. It’s especially effective for training and instructional content because updates are fast and the look and delivery stay consistent. The ability to scale content and easily localize it into multiple languages makes it a huge time-saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the avatars feel stiff or slightly unnatural, which can make the delivery less engaging. It also has limitations when it comes to emotional storytelling or highly customized visuals. For more dynamic or personality-driven content, it can feel a bit restrictive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia solves the problem of time-consuming and resource-heavy video production by allowing us to quickly create clear, consistent, and professional videos without filming or editing. This benefits us in course development because we can explain complex content visually, update videos easily when content changes, and maintain a consistent instructional presence across courses. Overall, it helps us scale high-quality learning materials efficiently while saving time and effort.

I love how easy it is to create and edit videos in Synthesia. The wide range of avatars and audio voices is fantastic, and I especially appreciate being able to change pronunciations instantly. The ability to import a variety of images and videos is super helpful, and the new transition animations are nice to have. I really like using different avatars for training videos across different industries like healthcare, CMT, and mortgage banking to maintain consistency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Animations -- Please work on it. Need more transition animations. More layouts.

Synthesia makes it super easy to create and edit videos with a wide range of avatars and audio voices. I can also change pronunciation quickly, import diverse media, and enjoy new transition animations, all of which enhance my marketing and training videos.
Effortless, High-Quality Video Creation
What do you like best about the product?
I used Synthesia to quickly create professional AI-generated videos for business and marketing purposes. It solves the problem of time-consuming and expensive video production, allowing me to create polished, on-brand videos without filming equipment, actors, or editing delays. I love how fast and easy it is to create professional videos, and the interface is simple, making the output look polished. The cost was a factor in switching from GenAI, and I found the setup to be awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
The avatar can be more manageable. More control over the avatar movements, facial expressions, and positioning would be helpful. Additional customization options would make the avatars feel more natural and flexible for different types of videos.

it solves the time consumed producing company reps' videos. It also helps us control the narrative of the content and the ability to scale up the volumen of content needed.
AI-Powered Video Creation Simplifies Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Synthesia for supporting technical documentation in our internal developer portal Backstage. It creates documents in a way that allows people to learn in their preferred style, which is a big improvement over just narrating the documents with audio software. I like how the AI tooling lets me pass a document to it, and it automatically produces a supporting and engaging document. It's also particularly useful for presenting, especially for those who aren't comfortable presenting themselves. The feature to pass loads of technical information from techdocs to form a professional, templated video is something I couldn't find in other tools. The initial setup was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having API access on the lower pricing plans would have been nice, to allow me to automate this via our CI pipelines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia for technical documentation in Backstage, supporting different learning styles beyond reading. Its AI transforms documents into engaging videos. It aids those uncomfortable with presenting and is unique in handling technical information effectively.
Effortless AI Video Creation with Impressive Features
What do you like best about the product?
I definitely like how Synthesia offers plenty of templates to use. I can grab layouts of all different kinds for my videos. I also like how natural the voices are for these videos. The animation feature for scene transition is great because if I'm using other video editing platforms like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro, it would take me forever to create animations, but with Synthesia, it's just one click. Additionally, I like how Synthesia provides options to generate video using Sora or other video options because sometimes those AI videos can enhance the scenario for my video. On top of that, I really love the PDF to video and PowerPoint to video options. Those make it much easier to create a video with just a few clicks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have a lot that doesn't work for me. Maybe the only thing is about the studio view. It is a little bit difficult to edit the script while I see it along with the video screen. But I think they did the improvement just now to enable the full screen view for the script as typing section so that I can actually focus on elaborating the scripts a little bit more. Maybe the dashboard could be improved. The dashboard usually has a lot of information on it. So I wish it could be more concise and simple so I know exactly where I wanna go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia generates natural English voices from scripts, saving costs on voice actors. It efficiently converts scripts and PDFs into audio-video formats with voice avatars, boosting workflow efficiency.
Customizable Features Make Content Creation Authentic and Engaging
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customizable features. I have enjoyed developing custom AI avatars of employees to make the content feel more authentic.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations to the voice. There are some places where it sounds a little wonky. The pronunciation feature does help with this though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is making compliance courses more engaging and impactful.
Highly Customizable and Time-Saving Video Creation Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Synthesia allows me to create professional trainings that can be in practically any language, which is great for our customers. I appreciate being able to create amazing, on-brand videos that are interactive and engaging, and I find the platform to be highly customizable. The fact that most avatars are realistic enhances the quality, and I enjoy that Synthesia continuously releases new features that align with the AI hype, helping us save a lot of time. I also love how easy it is to build content and decide when and where items appear in the video. I can input my own images and videos easily, in addition to having many options available on the Synthesia platform. They're very responsive to feature releases and have a robust knowledge base. The initial setup was very simple, which added to the overall convenience and efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love if we could build in chapters within each video to make it easier to skip through parts; I think they may be working on this feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to create professional trainings in practically any language, craft engaging on-brand videos quickly, and customize them with ease, saving us time.

Effortless Video Creation, Minor Content Review Challenges
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly use Synthesia for in-app guidance, instructions, and welcoming users. I love how extremely easy it is to create a video that looks professional and is hard to distinguish from a live video recording. The feature where I can easily select an avatar, pick a voice, and add text to emphasize key points is fantastic. I also appreciate the excellent selection of stock avatars, which makes creating videos even more engaging. The initial setup was extremely easy, and this ease of use adds to the overall positive experience with Synthesia.
What do you dislike about the product?
The content review process. I understand the content restrictions required by using a stock avatar and have no problem with these rules. But the interpretation of the rules has been forcing my videos into review and even rejection. I suspect the evaluation is being done by AI with humans to handle the appeal process but just yesterday I took a video that was already completed (and thereby approved) and added captions and nothing else but the new video was rejected. This inconsistent application of the rules is frustrating. It is also frustrating that the rejection never says specifically what was at fault in my content and what specific compliance rule was violated. If that was identified, I would adjust but instead I am left to modify, try again, sometimes 3-4 times before I finally stumble on the specific phrase that flagged my content in the first place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia makes creating professional-looking videos easy, which helps me engage users with video tutorials for confusing sections of our application.
