"Incredibly Realistic AI Avatars with Natural Voice Modulation"
5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

What I like best is the incredible realism of the AI avatars and their natural voice modulations. It makes video creation look highly professional without needing a camera or a studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

While the avatars look great, their body language and hand gestures can sometimes feel a bit rigid or repetitive during longer videos, which slightly reduces the overall natural feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Video Creation with Professional Results"
5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I love how Synthesia makes it easier to create professional-looking videos, even for someone who doesn't know how to make them from scratch. The process is really user-friendly, from choosing different avatars to the help with text and the general layout that offers various options for creating scenes. It's simple to figure out, and the output is really good. I've been using Synthesia for years, and I really like their overall service which works well for me. The initial setup was pretty simple too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Nothing really, it works great for my video creating needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Tool for Quick Training Builds"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I love using Synthesia for training courses because it provides the best templates, making it a speedy build. The best thing about Synthesia is its everyday enhancing features, which help me tackle different business challenges. From a design perspective, these features come in handy when I need to create a quick onboarding experience. Quick quizzes, the stop button, and interactive features within Synthesia make things easy, avoid the need for additional quizzes elsewhere, and keep the learner engaged throughout the video experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I think mostly everything works in terms of its usage, but what could be improved is the avatar voices and their pronunciations, specifically. And the way sometimes they appear cloudy. Below the bust, it is odd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Training Video Creation with AI"
5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I create training videos for my employees using Synthesia's features. I like how Synthesia expedites the process of creating these videos and supports multiple languages, which is helpful for my team spread across different countries. I appreciate the real-time capabilities and the very good voice quality of Synthesia. The natural-sounding voice is important as it ensures the material doesn't sound fake. Overall, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I would like more controls on the scene generation area so I can create AI videos more easily with more details. I want to set the effort and the temperature of the model when creating videos, so they can be more precise and follow my prompts rather than generating multiple videos to get one that I like.

"Effortlessly Transformed Content, With Minor Hiccups"
4/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I created a 20-minute video for higher education with my AI Avatar, and in very little time, Synthesia took my Google Slides and turned them into magic. It solved the problem of providing professional quality video content that I could share easily and also helped with my nervous public speaking issues. I learned how to use the platform quickly, in just 2 days, with assistance from the Synthesia team. I like the ease of use, the tech support was GREAT, and the ability to download an existing boring PowerPoint into the system and make it into something truly impressive. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

There were some issues at the start, where I wasted tokens because I didn't know that hitting generate would eat away at my account balance. That was really frustrating. Also, my Avatar's arms were strange and transparent on several screens. Lastly, the pronunciation of words was off quite a bit, and I had to spend a ton of time writing out what to say in a phonetically correct way. But the biggest issue is that our nation has low quality broadband. So even after I did all this work, I could not get the video to play in a suitable way via Zoom or even through the link on YouTube. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play the video at all. Now I'm trying to upload it on LinkedIn and the file is too big to post. I don't blame Synthesia for this, but would have liked to know this stuff before we nearly went live with 1200 participants. I suspect most people have no clue that playing a high quality video is going to be so difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible Speed and Innovation in Video"
5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

What I like about Synthesia is the incredible speed with which projects can be completed and the ease of use. I love that they are always innovating with tools to improve the quality of the videos, especially the Motion tool, which I find very valuable because it allows for the creation of incredible variables, making the videos more attractive. Also, the initial setup was very intuitive and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I believe that the integration for Bulk could be better. I would like them to improve the creation of videos in bulk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dynamic Training with Engaging Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I love the customer interaction with the staff at Synthesia. They support content creation and enhance the knowledge base on how to use the platform. They are incredibly engaging and accessible, making the 'feature Friday' and tips sessions incredibly powerful. Also, the initial setup of Synthesia was extremely easy. The platform is user-friendly, especially if you're familiar with creating PowerPoints or similar tools. I think Synthesia has done a great job of integrating obvious features onto their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I would love the ability for our learners to be able to save their progress as they continue on their learning. Some videos, we cannot make two minute videos, unfortunately, right now. Some of the training sometimes freezes as it's dependent on their Wi-Fi and bandwidth. A lot of our officers are accessing training on their phone and could be in between different buildings, so that's where saving progress would be a great addition. Sometimes the images or videos I need are not specific enough in Synthesia, so I have to go outside the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transforms Video Creation for eLearning"
5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I use Synthesia to create videos for our eLearning courses. I appreciate how it allows us to quickly customize videos for client-specific needs and easily translate them into multiple languages, which reduces our costs. In the past, changing videos meant rehiring actors, renting studio time, reshooting, and re-editing, which took a lot of time and money. With Synthesia, we can do the same work in a day or less. Transitioning from a monthly or yearly plan to an enterprise license was very easy as our usage increased. I considered other products, but Synthesia is the best out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I could do with being able to generate on screen text and script files together so they can be programmatically generated, uploaded, and a video created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive video design with a lot of potential"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I like about Synthesia that it is constantly being optimized and thus appears more and more natural. The usable avatars are continuously improved and receive an increasingly "human" nature through new features, which makes the videos more authentic. Additionally, Synthesia is very intuitive to use, which helps me achieve good results without much effort. The initial setup was also very easy and intuitive, with many options to integrate one's own brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The presentation functions aside from the avatars are somewhat not as intuitive to use, and some functions are missing, like those known from PowerPoint. Some functions are excellent in English, but not quite as smooth in German, such as pronunciation and editing of such. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Synthesia?

Simple interface for creating videos with AI avatars; easy to understand, fast-responsive, with preview option; also great is the connection to databases of freely available images and videos that can be used in generated videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Limitation of video generation time within the selected monthly subscription plan; watching already used up time of generated videos is not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
