I use Synthesia for creating videos for YouTube tutorials, and it allows me to create videos quickly from a script with customizable avatars. I like that Synthesia is set up for business professionals who value quality and security. The platform's approach to security is impressive, especially when creating a personal avatar as it requires consent using biometrics and a passcode, which is a higher level of security than many other platforms offer. The stock avatars are very high quality, and the lip sync is excellent. I also find that Synthesia’s avatars are of higher quality compared to alternatives like D-ID and Vyond. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although they allow you to create customized Veo 3 videos with a particular avatar and background, at this time, that doesn't include voice generated directly from a script. I think adding that feature would be a big improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The continous addition of new features makes Synthesia more and more valuable to our business. The tool is evolving all the time to become a top-of-mind tool for our team when we need to create content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like other AI tools, it can be frustrating when the software doesn't produce the desired outcome. However, garbage in garbage out--as I refine and hone my prompting skills the tool will only work better for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very easy to get started with Synthesia and create AI videos, even with little or no prior experience using the tool. I mainly use it to produce training-related videos, and the ability to generate AI images and short video snippets saves me a lot of time every week.

The Synthesia support site also makes it quick and straightforward to find instructions on how to use specific functions when I need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a user, the only thing I dislike about the tool is that, occasionally, the AI-generated voice sounds slightly different in a random sentence or paragraph. This means I end up spending extra time listening to the video multiple times to make sure the audio is flawless before publishing it to our LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I've been learning about Synthesia, and it's becoming a little easier to use each day. I also appreciate the new upgrade that's happening to make things more accessible and straightforward. I noticed improvements compared to when I first started using it, especially with avatars looking more natural and the voice dubbing sounding better and more consistent. It flows really well now and sounds natural, which makes me enjoy using the platform more. The initial setup was very easy without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's still a few things that have to be improved. There are inconsistencies with the voices and the pronunciation of certain words. For some reason, it may pronounce a word very easily within one or two scenes, and then there's a few more scenes with the exact same word being pronounced weird. You have to do certain tricks to get it right because even if you put the pronunciation within the settings, it still is a little finicky, and that can take some time. I did have emotion in my avatar, and I think it was a little bit more exaggerated than I would have wanted. It came off sounding funny for the most part, but it's not as natural as I expected, so I had to rerecord another one. There's a lot of room for improvement, I think, but we're using new technology, so we just have to be patient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Synthesia to make video tutorials, mainly for medical apps on iOS and Android. It's great because I just provide the script, attach screen records, and it combines well with customizable characters. I like that I can choose a character that looks like a doctor for my medical app tutorials. The effects for the mockups are a nice touch, too. It's pretty straightforward to set up, which is helpful for a startup like ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the characters should be improved and look more natural. High in detail, and lip syncing should be improved as well. I've tried a few AI models and think these are improving fast, so I believe Synthesia will improve too. The models should have a natural smile, and the tone should be natural.

I like the wide variety of options for editing and personalizing videos. The user interface is intuitively operable, and with a little prompt experience, you quickly achieve great results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it very sad that the page cannot be accessed on mobile and the number of video minutes is really small, even though I can understand the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A platform that allows you to put into bespoke visuals, streamlined as video for maximum impact and influence! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that's off is that it rejects video material to generated but indicate as to where the seeming infraction against their policies are Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Synthesia for personalized videos to promote events and products. It's easy to use and adaptable, which I really like. I appreciate that anyone can use it without needing to be a videographer or graphic designer—it's made for everyone. The ability to edit the pronunciation of words, change outfits, and backgrounds makes the process smooth and the end product look real. Also, Synthesia saves me time as I can do edits without constantly speaking to a video editor and I can edit in the comfort of my own desk. The initial setup was really quick, and I find it time-efficient because it helps me avoid the hassle of scheduling a professional shoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the sync in the words and avatar are misaligned. You have to generate the video a few times to get it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how user-friendly the tool is. I also appreciate the selection of avatars, backgrounds, and voices—they feel very realistic and are well-suited for corporate training videos. Whenever I’ve had questions or wanted to learn more about features I wasn’t aware of, I’ve consistently found the Synthesia team helpful. The tool makes creating training videos much more cost-effective than hiring a crew and setting aside a day to film. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a small business that doesn't use the tool robustly, the monthly pricing is on the higher side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the AI content-generated feature, where I can drop a script and it styles it according to my parameters, and even improves it. I find the features and tools easy to navigate and adjust, unlike some other video editing tools like Camtasia. The initial setup was very easy. The subtitles that highlight each word are great, and I love them. I also appreciate using an AI agentic persona because it's convenient for me due to my accent and privacy concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Music selections should be more tailored to the educational style. Also, images should be without watermarks. The subtitles that highlight each word clash with the YouTube subtitles. I don't see too many Asian or Middle Eastern-looking characters. I would like avatars to stand, walk, or move around, and be able to add multiple avatars and voices to one slide. Integration with other tools like Canva would be valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
