Synthesia Reviews & Product Details

I love how Synthesia speeds up the video production process for e-learning, making it more efficient and enriching for our students. I also enjoy the variety of avatars and different voices, and the automatic text feature is incredibly useful. Additionally, the ease of use and reasonable pricing perfectly meet our needs.

I find it frustrating that there is an overzealous content filter in Synthesia that blocks videos which contain certain terms like '******'. This is problematic because we conduct training on specific topics such as harassment, and not being able to use necessary terminology makes it challenging to create effective training content. It's crucial for us to be able to use such words to address these important issues adequately. This restrictive filtering needs to be addressed promptly to improve our ability to develop comprehensive training materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Synthesia is an application that can help me convert my voice and use it in advertising. This allows me to take a script I have, transform it into audio, and then place it in a video, which is very beneficial for my advertising projects. I value this functionality because it facilitates the expansion of the reach of my products, allowing them to reach more people. I also appreciate that the initial setup was easy, which made starting to use Synthesia satisfying. Overall, so far, everything has been easy to handle and I am happy with what Synthesia offers.

I LIKE EVERYTHING Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Synthesia significantly enhances our video production capabilities, allowing us to create educational videos efficiently. The ease of use is remarkable, making it accessible for trainers with limited video creation experience to produce content that previously required hiring a cameraman and editor. Moreover, the quality of the output is impressive, meeting our professional standards. The initial setup of Synthesia proved to be fantastic, contributing to a smooth integration into our workflow.

I don't think the advertised 360 minutes on the professional license are an honest estimate. We were able to generate at most 100 minutes counting various edits and maybe 40 minutes of final footage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been looking for a tool to turn slides into high-uquality ai video for short content focused trainings videos. This was THE PERFECT tool! It's easy to use, not much of a learning curve, and highly customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't explored all the features yet, there are a lot! It's simple to use for my targeted purpose and hopefully I will be able to explore other features soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synthesia has completely changed the way I create video content. Most of the AI avatars look incredibly realistic, which makes the videos engaging and professional. What impressed me most is how simple it is to generate a full video just from a script or even a short prompt. The templates make the process even easier, so you don’t need any video editing skills to produce something polished. It saves me hours compared to traditional video production. Overall, it’s a user-friendly, powerful tool that delivers impressive results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the voice options feel a little limited for certain tones or languages. In my particular case to dutch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new Avatars are fantastic. I’d love to see more of them, and I think it would be great to replace the older ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, when your video is rejected for different reasons, it can be difficult to figure out exactly what caused the issue. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about the specific reason for the rejection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration of GenAI, the ability to rewrite and rework the script quickly based on feedback, ability to produce professional quality content, the professional voices and appearance of avatars. Democratisation of content creation, given that it makes it accessible to someone who has no video editing creation skills! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficulty of creating own avatar - it was unnatural; selfie avatar would zoom in and out; no easy way of pasting script and getting the content generated. Quite the steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using Synthesia for two years and have already produced over 300 videos. I want to express my complete satisfaction with this tool. It is easy to use, offers an increasingly professional and human-like output, while allowing us to control costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have occasionally encountered some bugs that have sometimes slowed down or even halted our production, but these seem to be becoming increasingly rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Saves lots of time in creating such professional videos, which are always editable for revisions. Very easy to be used , specially for those with video editing background. My frequency of use is mostly on need basis. usually 3-5 hrs per week on average. I never tried any integration so cant comment on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been sharing my feedback through the app, however 1) quite recently avatar's hand-gestures are sometimes behaving weird, and by the time one realizes in generated video, it has already consumed credits and time for rending the video. There should be an option to include/exclude hand gestures. 2) While creating content, i dont find integrated generative-AI very effective in rewriting the phrases - Its not contextual most of the time. I always have to copy-paste rewrite from external sites like chatGPT. 3) Pronunciation of the same word appears different in the same script. Example: Cerner is sometimes pronounced as 'Serner' and sometimes as 'Kerner' - untill one fixes it. 4) Upon editing a finalized generated video, sometimes, avatars speech gesture delivery changes in the next generated-version, despite of the fact that you have not touched those slides. 5) While generating a video, it would be good to know the credit in hand and credits about to be spent.

I primarily use Synthesia to create training modules for my work. What I appreciate most is how simple and intuitive it is to use — I just input the narration script, and Synthesia generates ready-to-use videos.

I also value the ability to use customized avatars instead of generic ones. While the default avatars are high-quality, having personalized, recognizable faces makes the videos more convincing and engaging.

Additionally, I’ve noticed a clear improvement in the voice quality over time. The narration now sounds much more natural and less robotic, which greatly enhances the overall learning experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is the cost — it’s quite expensive. This is especially noticeable now that many competitors are entering the market and offering similar services, often at more affordable prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
