Super intuitive tool for AI video generation
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use. The interface and all the controls are intuitive and need very little help from reading 'how to' topics. Lot of useful features and easy to download and integrate the generated vide files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Monthly pricing is bit too high if there is no regular use for users each month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No need for the tutor to record learning videos. I can use synthesia to convert my text lessons into videos.
Effortless Professional Videos With Synthesia’s Time-Saving AI
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Synthesia is how effortlessly it lets me turn scripts into polished, professional videos - no studio time or editing experience needed. As an account manager, it’s a huge time-saver. I can quickly create personalized client updates, training clips, or product overviews with consistent quality. The AI avatars and templates make the whole process fast, scalable, and easy to customize, which helps me communicate clearly and look polished without relying on a full production team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is that customization can feel a bit limited when you need highly specific visuals or more natural, expressive avatar behavior. While the platform is great for quick, clean videos, there are times when I wish I had more control over animations, pacing, or branding elements. Complex edits still require work outside the platform, so it’s not always a complete replacement for traditional video tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia is helping solve the challenge of producing high-quality video content without the time, cost, or coordination that typically comes with traditional production. Instead of scheduling filming, managing revisions, or relying on external teams, I can quickly create consistent, professional videos on my own. This speeds up communication with clients, supports training and onboarding, and allows me to deliver updates in a more engaging way. Overall, it helps me work faster, reduce production bottlenecks, and keep messaging clear and polished.
Outstanding Customer Service, Quick Response
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Synthesia’s outstanding customer service. They are quick to respond, as evidenced by the fact that I received a notification about my refund within just four minutes. This fast response time is truly impressive and made my experience with customer support very positive. Synthesia is a great company with excellent customer service, which is both accommodating and efficient in resolving issues swiftly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found it a bit challenging to get started with Synthesia as I'm not very tech-savvy, although it wasn't too overwhelming. I never progressed far with it since I only made one small video, which I didn't like enough to post. Due to my upcoming retirement, I won't be using it further.

Effortless Video Creation with Instant Results
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how Synthesia makes it incredibly easy to create training and introductory videos for our board of education, staff, and students. Traditional methods of making videos can be very time-consuming, often requiring weeks to get through writing, filming, and editing, but Synthesia reduces this to just hours, or even minutes in some cases. I love the quick adoption process made possible by features like the Academy and Feature Fridays, which make it exciting and straightforward to learn and take full advantage of every function the software offers. The intuitive interface allows me to dive right in and start creating from the first log-in, and the tools available make it simple to enhance my videos. I also find the process of discovering different features and refining my videos to be enjoyable, thanks to the engaging way the platform keeps me informed about new possibilities. Additionally, the initial setup was seamless, and it was so efficient that we could launch our first video to the board on the very same day we began using it. Overall, Synthesia's ease of use, educational resources, and the significant reduction in video production time make it an invaluable tool. My experience has been so positive that I would absolutely recommend Synthesia to a friend or colleague.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle with Synthesia's pronunciation features. While they are working on enhanced pronunciation options, I find it challenging to type out words phonetically to achieve the correct pronunciation I need. I would prefer a 'listen' feature that allows me to input the preferred pronunciation of a word or phrase so the avatar could mimic it. Additionally, expanding the language support to include options like First Nations languages would greatly enhance functionality for my needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to create training videos quickly, meeting the needs of students and staff. It reduces production time from weeks to hours, allowing immediate responses to educational content requirements.
Effortless Interface Makes Video Creation a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy the interface is to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
wish there were more options for customization and I wish that the translated videos did not move assets/text boxes around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia reduce the amount of time it takes to create professional-quality videos
Quick and Easy Video Creation with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I love how quick and easy Synthesia is to use. I can effortlessly add backgrounds to my projects and splice videos with slides, which makes the video creation process smooth and efficient. The platform allows me to quickly create brand-compliant videos, complete with a suitable accent and avatar. Additionally, I've found no other service that facilitates splicing with slides so easily, which makes Synthesia particularly valuable in my workflow. I was also impressed by the quality of the avatars, which is a significant improvement over other tools like HeyGen, and contributes to the professional quality of my training videos. The ability to quickly copy a previous video and only change the script to produce a new one further streamlines my workflow, making video production fast and hassle-free.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the speech in Synthesia is too slow, and I'd like to have the option to speed it up, perhaps to a rate of 1.2. Additionally, I initially found the setup process to be counterintuitive on several aspects, although I've managed to figure it out now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to quickly create brand-compliant training videos with avatars and accents, which I can easily splice with slides, enhancing my content creation efficiency.
Intuitive, Engaging, Yet Limited by Plan Constraints
What do you like best about the product?
I like all of the different multimedia assets Synthesia provides, including images, icons, and video, as well as the various types of avatars. From what I have heard, Synthesia offers some of the most realistic avatars available on the market in comparison to other platforms. It's also very easy to use, especially if you're familiar with creating PowerPoints, as adding animations and other elements feels quite similar. The range of features available significantly enhances the experience, making videos very engaging and interactive. The recent addition of buttons adds to this interaction. These features collectively help make the content feel like you're watching a real person explain concepts, and the use of images and icons adds a real-world perspective and helps draw attention to key information. I find this especially useful in making the content more digestible. Additionally, the initial setup for Synthesia was straightforward and simple, requiring just a username and password, allowing us to jump right into using the platform without a major setup process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't use the interactive buttons with my current plan type. This limitation means I'm unable to download videos with button functionality, as buttons are non-functional in MP4 files. I also encounter exclamation point errors when generating videos, which require me to backtrack through scenes to locate and resolve them. This process of finding and fixing errors can be confusing and time-consuming. It would be helpful if Synthesia provided more immediate guidance or alerts about errors during the scene-building phase, rather than only at the end when generating the video.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to deliver base information through short videos, improving engagement and ease of learning for those who find reading difficult, or those with a short attention span.
Quick, User-Friendly Training Video Creator
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how user-friendly Synthesia is, making it easy for me to change avatars and backgrounds effectively to enhance my training videos. The seamless initial setup was far easier than I anticipated, which allowed me to start using the software without any hassle. One of the standout features for me is the ability to quickly convert Word outlines or PowerPoint presentations into engaging video content in a very short amount of time, which significantly boosts my productivity. Moreover, the ability to update and revise text and images on the fly is incredibly convenient and saves me a lot of time. These features not only streamline my workflow but also help me produce very exciting videos consistently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I need to adjust timing and such to make things flow better. I would also like to see the creation take a little less time. I understand that it takes time to generate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to quickly convert word outlines and presentations into engaging videos, saving me time. Its user-friendly interface allows me to change avatars, backgrounds, and update content easily, creating exciting training videos efficiently.
Effortless Video Creation with Intuitive UI
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity and intuitive nature of Synthesia, which allows me to create videos effortlessly and efficiently. It significantly improves our time management by enabling me to produce explainer videos quickly without the need for lengthy recording and animation processes in person. I particularly enjoy how I can animate elements without needing expertise in advanced tools like After Effects. The initial setup of Synthesia was very easy, which made the transition smooth and hassle-free.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Synthesia could be improved by offering more capabilities for animation and additional options for design-focused features. Currently, I sometimes have to use After Effects for certain animations or features that are too complex for Synthesia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to create videos quickly, improving time management and simplifying animation without advanced skills, allowing better customer understanding.
Loving the tool especially the interactivity
What do you like best about the product?
I love how efficient it is to create videos with a I.And the brand kit is extremely helpful in keeping the look and feel consistent. I love the option to create interactive videos which is actually the reason I pushed my organization to purchase it.Because in the training and development content, i'm creating it's imperative that users feel engaged, and and so i'm using the interactivity to enhance the scenario based assessments to make them feel even more relevant and captivating for the learners.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment I don't dislike any of the features.However, i'm on the creator plan and I can make interactive videos, but it would be great if I could also make interactive quizzes on the creator plan as well.Not just in the enterprise plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm creating lots of content about how to use a particular software for the sass company that I work for and the content converge on dry, because it is quite technical at times and involves law of terminology.So the videos I create with your platform, really allow me to liven up the material and create many breaks between all of the reading that does need to be done.
