Effortless to Use, But Tiered Plan Limits Hold It Back
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use out of the box. Very little time needed to have to "learn" how to use the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The strict limitations per tiered plan, there should be better ways to customize a plan to suit your specific business needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia helps us to not have pretend we are professional actors in creating content. It also makes courses feel more "real" and interactive.
Effortless Video Creation with Lifelike Results
What do you like best about the product?
I find Synthesia incredibly useful for creating training videos efficiently without the need for manual manpower or bandwidth, which we lack. The ease of setup was remarkable, making the initial experience with the software seamless. I really like the capability to effortlessly insert a wide variety of photos and videos into the slides, which enhances our video content significantly. Synthesia met our needs exceptionally well compared to other vendors and received top reviews, which encouraged us to choose it. Additionally, the potential of having lifelike avatars with natural voice intonation is a significant factor for us, ensuring our customers cannot detect that it’s AI. Overall, Synthesia has exceeded our expectations and is greatly valued in our video creation process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging that the avatars do not speak during the video creation process before it is fully generated. This feature could significantly enhance the experience by allowing real-time feedback on the video's dialogue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to create more videos due to limited manpower, enhancing workflow by providing easy insertion of photos and videos.
Fast, User-Friendly Dubbing and Voiceovers with Good Templates
What do you like best about the product?
The dubbing is fast and high quality, available in multiple languages, which really helps save time. The animation effects are clean and clear, making the visuals appealing. I also find the slide templates to be well-designed. You don't need extensive video editing experience to use this, which makes it accessible for beginners.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform tends to be somewhat laggy and glitchy, especially when you add effects. Adjusting the intonation or speed of the AI voiceovers is also quite challenging. If you have experience with video editing, the limitations of this platform become very apparent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a SaaS company, we are currently revamping some of our older demo videos and working to expand our video library. Synthesia has been helpful to us throughout this process.
Great Quality and Usability, but Disappointing Pricing Model

The product has amazing quality and easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the pricing model, since it forces you to rush
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing instructions to guests
Great Avatars and Easy to Use, but Pricey for Custom Options
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to drive. High quality avatars, with a broad range to select from.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional lip-sync issues. Expensive once you start to look at custom avatars.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating photorealistic avatars to include in marketing and education programmes. Better than animation, and faster than traditional video shooting
Synthesia: Best for Enterprise, but Avatars Still Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I have tried out a number of AI video avatar tools, and from my experience, Synthesia stands out as the only one that is truly ready for enterprise use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The avatars still appear somewhat unnatural and not quite human-like, although there has been noticeable improvement in recent months. I recommend using high-quality equipment such as a good greenscreen, microphone, and camera when creating your avatar. Doing so made a significant difference in our overall quality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are producing educational videos for students. One of the main advantages is how simple it is to translate the content into various languages, which allows us to expand quickly into new markets. Another benefit is the ability to easily update videos that have already been published, without the need to re-upload them. Additionally, compared to other tools in this category, I like the UI/UX which is quite similar to PPTx (what we used before).
The Best AI-Powered Training Video Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best training video-making tool with using AI
What do you dislike about the product?
More characters to choose from and more video materials to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me to produce the training videos for the business
Great Selection of Easy-to-Use Templates
What do you like best about the product?
Great and easy to use, got multiple templates for different application moreover, they have amazing customer support who helped me when I had issues
What do you dislike about the product?
Synthesia is a great website , the only thing I wish it had was some editing options to the video after the content is generated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to create interactive manuals for our company with just one person handling the task, thanks to the tools provided. This made it unnecessary to involve an entire team in the process.
Synthesia Simplifies Video Creation but Needs Better Pronunciation and Pricing Options
What do you like best about the product?
I regularly use Synthesia for both marketing and learning and development purposes. The platform makes video creation remarkably straightforward. In marketing, it’s excellent for producing quick product explanations. For learning and development, it saves a significant amount of time, allowing me to easily generate consistent training materials for various teams. I have had a lot of positive feedback from my clients. Their customer support is also reliable. Whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance with a feature, the team has responded promptly. It’s clear they genuinely listen to feedback and are committed to enhancing the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it frustrating that, when I write a script, the pronunciation can be completely inaccurate, even after I try to adjust the script. Additionally, the cost of the enterprise plan is unreasonable. There really should be an option between the creator and enterprise plans that would be more suitable for a wider range of users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia has been a huge help to me, especially when it comes to saving time and simplifying the video editing process.
Efficient, High-Quality AI Video Creation for Training Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia allows you to quickly transform scripts into polished, on-brand videos without the need for cameras, studios, or actors. The avatars have a professional appearance, and the multilingual voice options are impressive. Features like templates, captions, and brand controls make it easy for those without a design background to create consistent content. For training and internal communications, the ability to edit scripts swiftly, reorder scenes effortlessly, and re-render videos instantly provides a significant boost in productivity. The platform also scales effectively for teams, and sharing videos for stakeholder review is straightforward thanks to shareable links.
What do you dislike about the product?
The level of fine-grained control is more restricted than what you get with full-featured video editors. While lip-sync and pronunciation are generally accurate, they can falter when handling acronyms, names, or specialized jargon, often requiring phonetic adjustments or manual intervention. Achieving advanced motion graphics or intricate layouts is challenging, and the selection of stock assets seems more limited compared to professional-grade tools. For teams with heavy usage, costs can accumulate, and during peak times, render queues may slow down delivery. Although integrations are available, the addition of more robust API or webhook automation and enhanced analytics would further improve the experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia enables us to quickly produce professional-quality videos without the need for on-camera presenters, specialized recording equipment, or extensive post-production editing. This results in substantial time and cost savings when creating training, marketing, and internal communication videos. The platform's AI avatars and text-to-speech capabilities also simplify the process of localizing content for global teams, enhancing both accessibility and consistency across different languages.
