The template and avatar selections are useful and time-saving. The interface is simple to learn. I also like that the avatars (and voices) are diverse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be great to see the avatar experience in preview mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How easy it is to use, anyone with basic PowerPoint experience can create professional videos within minutes. It's easy to edit and custom the videos according to your brand guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A bit pricy and their plans are for large-scale content creation, I would have preferred smaller plans (for 200 or 500 minutes for example). Also would have preferred more long videos in the library than just 30-40 seconds Shutterstock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The multiple avatars and different voice tones means the auduience doesnt get bored of a character. The training materail gives loads of ideas. The FOCA cetificate was a brilliant and gave me oodles of ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
zoom in facility, more hand movements, like the Trump ok sign, the Boris Johnston point with the index finger drawn in, the prayer hand, smiles, 2 avatars side by side, some more english accents, scottish for woman, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to import powerpoint slides and type in the narrative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some viewers may not as yet be comfortable with an avatar instead of a real-life video image of the presenter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that we can instantly see the script durations, and hear it back without generating. The avatars are as natural as we've seen and generally cope well with the languages.
The back-end processing to generate a video has improved since our early days trial. It's now quite quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For our uses, a full-length avatar body would be extremely helpful. Custom guestures and facial expressions would exellent too.
A folder structure architecture would be good to have, as we have multiple language varients of the same video, so keeping them all in one master folder per title would make my life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and available avatars. I like the opportunity to clone voices and create custom avatars suing green screens.
I was introduced to the platform by another user and respected friend and after doing my own evaluation, I chose Synthesia.io as my go to platform and pleased I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not real pleased with pricing model for a mid-level corporate type user. Also there needs to be improvment on how text is displayed and timing of same as one might have with ARTICULATE'S Storyline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


What we like about Synthesia are the Avatars, and the ability to add different types of media. The text, the presentation. the fact that they evolve quickly. For example the different accents i.e. Nigerian English. The UI is very user-friendly. We make videos for training almost 3-5 every two months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Move Value to be provided for Annual Subscribers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used ChatGPT to generate the text of the body of a small topic that I wanted to talk about. I use this text to import into Synthesia and from there video is created. This video is short enough to keep the viewers attention but just informative enough to generate further questions or leads through our portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the voice syncing does not quite line up to the lips. The second challenge is finding the right voice to match the avatar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
