What stands out most about Synthesia is how incredibly easy and efficient it makes creating professional-looking videos without the need for traditional filming or editing. The platform’s user-friendly interface allows quick script input and instant video generation, which has been invaluable when developing engaging and consistent eLearning content, especially for large-scale projects we have been working on. Synthesia’s multilingual support is also impressive, making it perfect for reaching a middle east audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Synthesia is fantastic overall, it would be helpful to have even more customisation options for avatars. Easier use of translating with KSA in mind would benefit my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3. I like the clean design of the software
4. The support answered super quick
5. Nice website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. The rendering of the personal avatar takes too long
2. I had issues with the eye correction of the personal avatar, first renderings were not usable
3. The videos do not render in real time
4. The German voice sometimes sounds worse than the English one. I can't add natural pitch variations at the beginning or end of a sentence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our SMB has been able to take our training videos to a new level with Synthesia's platform. Super easy to learn, quick AI customer service with the ability to get additional assistance if the AI can't get to the root of the issue, and consistently professional avatars and script to voice generation has been so helpful to accomplish our training goals. The ability to download videos to load to our LMS is especially helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been having to resize/reposition my images when I bring them into templates that have a left or right border. It would be so much easier if the user could customize how the image gets placed (fit to space / fill space). In addition, I'd like to see the ability to purchase additional minutes rather than jumping from 120 all the way up to 360 minutes of video for the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best feature of Synthesia that I have utilized is the AI Screenrecorder. It makes creating training videos so easy, I especially like that it transcribes my voice into a script that an AI voice over can read. It is also super helpful that it automatically cuts my video into scenes based on the content, cutting down on the editing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When adding shapes to the scene, the video automatically cuts to the start of the scene. This is not very user friendly for scenes that include several screen changes. I would like to be able to pause the scene at a specific point and add the shapes at the point where it is paused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to make training videos with a single prompt is incredibly useful! Our business is wanting to expand our training to international teams with the same person being the "face" of training, so the custom AI avatar with voice translations is an absolute win!

It would be amazing if this could be used as an authoring tool to really enhance training videos, with gamification questions and tools. To have this embedded in one place with the ability to translate the content all with the click of a button would solve so many issues we face. Exporting these as SCORM and adding them to our LMS would be a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synthesia is a total game-changer for creating professional videos! It’s so much better than the usual boring slide decks. The platform is intuitive and incredibly easy to use, allowing you to transform static content into dynamic, engaging videos in no time. The customization options are fantastic, and you don’t need any prior editing skills to make something that looks polished and professional. If you’re looking for a fresh way to present your ideas, Synthesia is the way to go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything is awesome, one thing that can be added is some photo frames for the slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Synthesia integrates all the tools that I need to develop corporate videos easily, before I used to need at least 3 other tools (AI narrator, image/video stock, and video editing), but now I can do all of that directly on Synthesia, which increases a lot the productivity.
Besides the editing mode of Synthesia is very intuitive and easy to learn and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only negative point I found was that the Translation option is only available in Enterprise mode, I would love it if you had a premium version for smaller teams with the Enterprise functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I’ve always joked, “If only there were two of me!” Thanks to Synthesia and my AI Twin, that dream is now a reality. This innovative tool saves me so much time, transforming tasks that used to take days or weeks into something I can accomplish in just minutes. It’s like having a clone that’s always ready to create, adapt, and deliver high-quality videos with ease. Synthesia allows me to focus on the bigger picture—exploring new ideas, connecting with members, and achieving my goals. It’s a game-changer, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this time-saver!

Some of the AI still comes across a little too mechanical andWhile the platform is incredibly innovative, some avatars and AI Twins can still feel slightly mechanical or robotic, which might make it harder to connect emotionally with viewers. For organizations like ours, where delivering authentic and relatable messages is crucial, this can occasionally lead to negative feedback or disengagement. Enhancing the naturalness of voice, facial expressions, and movements to mimic real people more effectively would be a fantastic improvement. This would ensure that AI-driven messaging resonates more deeply without risking turning off the audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used the software to create personalized avatars of myself, to make videos more quickly, I am incredibly fascinated with the precision of the avatar and the voice cloning, in addition, the generation of videos is fast and not tiring at all. I really recommend it.
Additionally, I must say that the support from the support chat is incredible, the AI they use to respond gives excellent answers and if more detailed support is needed, they send you to an agent...I loved that. My question was resolved in less than 10 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far I have only had one mishap. Which was like finding out about deactivating the subtitles in the generation, I think this option should be more visible and not so hidden in the preview, but the truth is, the support that the support gave me was incredible, and I didn't have a bad time.

Absolutely love the choice of avatars and voices within Synthesia. A big plus was their ethics as well - you cannot upload images or videos of other people here - this is very important to me. It is also super easy to use - I have been using it to add depth to my elearning process videos for software training - it makes it so much more professional and engaging - at least I hope it does!

There is not much I dislike about Synthesia to be honest. I only have a Starter subscription but hopefully will be able to upgrade in the near future. The inability to add logos except in the Enterprise subscription is quite limiting - would be great if you could purchase this as a one off - I work alone and have had one client want a logo - but it wasn't worth it for me to upgrade my subscription to Enterprise for one client - just to put their logo on a shirt. It caused a lot of angst but at least I could change the colour of the shirt to their uniform colour but it was quite an issue. The lack of collared shirts can be an issue at my level - and the fact there are only a couple that can have their shirt colour changed. But these are minor issues only.
