"Synthesia: Because Employees Need More Than Another PowerPoint"

5/5

What do you like best about Synthesia?

Synthesia helps me take a lot of content information and turn it into training employees can actually follow and use. I build onboarding, leadership development, and process training for a university with multiple campuses, so clear, consistent communication is important to me.

The scene-by-scene layout in Synthesia is especially helpful because that is how I think through my training. I can organize the narration, visuals, and examples around what employees need to know and how they will apply it in their roles. Being able to work through individual scenes makes a larger training buildout more manageable.

The AI avatars and narration are a big upside. I can create presenter-led training without coordinating a live recording for every topic. I also appreciate being able to revise the content when a process changes and provide a consistent explanation across campuses.

For me, the value goes beyond creating a professional-looking video. It is giving employees clear guidance they can return to and helping them feel better prepared to do their jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

One improvement I would like to see is built-in spell checking, or a more visible way to flag spelling errors while I work. When I am building training with multiple scenes, on-screen text, and narration, it is easy to overlook a typo. Of course, that is also me—I tend to focus on the forest rather than every tree, making sure the overall training flows and connects with the learner. Having spelling flagged directly in the editor would help me catch those smaller details before generating the video and make my final review more efficient.

What problems is Synthesia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Synthesia helps me address the challenge of providing clear, consistent employee training across multiple university campuses. I build training on onboarding, leadership, and processes such as completing performance reviews. Employees need more than information—they need an explanation of what to do and how it applies to their work.

With Synthesia, I can turn that content into narrated videos employees can access when they need them and revisit for a refresher. It also reduces the need to coordinate live recordings for each topic, and I can revise the training when a process changes.

The practical benefits for my work are more flexibility in producing training, consistent messaging across locations, and reusable resources that support employees beyond the initial learning experience. I have not formally measured time or cost savings, but these are meaningful advantages in managing ongoing training needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
