What do you like best about Synthesia?

Using Synthesia, I quickly and easily created training videos for our staff and students. The interface is user-friendly, and the new updates make the workflow even smoother. I like the gallery of media they have available; there is something for almost anything I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I don't dislike anything about Synthesia, but I would like to see more avatars available, like kids and robots. This would be helpful when creating training videos for the students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Synthesia is solving the problem all of us have - too little time. The professional quality of the videos I create would take me so much longer without this platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

Synthesia is wonderfully easy to use and creates professional looking training courses with very little fuss. The AI facility is realy useful as a help to getting started and the range of avatars and voices make choosing a format simple. The ability to add animations to sides without having to worry about timings and changing text is fantastic as is the ability to place avatars on different backgrounds. It has been rally easy to integrate into our other training product Articulate and courses are simple to implement. We have started to use Synthesia for all of our courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Not much really. The ability to start off in UK English each time rather than defaulting to US English is about the nonly thing I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used to record our videos in person using a video studio. not only was this expensive but also it meant that everytime we needed to chnage anything the whole video had to be re-recorded. Synthesia has not only made the studio unnecessary but we are now able to keep our presentations up to date and can even personalise them to different users.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

A platform where we can contribute to the development of Synthesia by sharing our preferences when it comes to creating with Synthesia. The Santa Video was an edifying experience as to the numerous possibilities still to be explored. The video itself as per the Synthesia functionality and features was satisfyingly user-friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Insofar, can't say that I've experienced a downside but I'd like to see some improvements in the area of giving inanimate objects like logos, and emblems some life (make it animate with the tweaking of a prompt) perhaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I don't have to spend money at all on graphic designers and I myself have become somewhat of a super amateur graphic designer and digital because of tools such as Synthesia! Personalise and enhance my social media for business and personal, especially Facebool TikTok and my favorite, LinkedIn! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

The tool itself, but also the responsiveness of the support and the quality of the support. Easy implementation because it is easy to use and there for quickly to setup and to start generate content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I would like to be a bit more in control of what i do, what i create and what i am able to do.

If Voice-Cloning was supported in the Creator subscription, it would be already a bigggg plus. Besides this the tool is not ready yet for us to use.

Therefor i stopped the paid subscription because i want to wait for the tool to become useable for us as SaaS company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

Ease of use, & ease of implementation as well as integration, templates, AI avatars realization, text to voice, dictation, video and graphic embed options, library storage and must more. I've used many other AI Video platforms and by far, Synthesia is the best. We plan on using this platform mostly for the websites we create for the Real Estate and Insurance professionals. This will be a game changer for those markets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Honestly, I've found nothing as of today that is a negative. We frequently use and highly recommend Synthesia. We've had no reason to contact their Customer Support since the platform is just easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

Synthesia adds a dynamic approach and makes my training videos much more interesting. They have good templates and I dont have to work so hard to produce my courses. I combine this with AI for narritive and it works really well. Is easy to implement and get started. Also you dont need much training its all pretty intuitive. I have used the support a few times and the support function is fantastic if you have a probelm.They are really on the ball. I will use this tool going forward with increasing frequency as its so easy to integrate and convert my existing slide shows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The choices of voices on the Avatars .If you look you can get some really good ones but some of them sound synthesised and talk too fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This solves my problem of needing to deliver high quality presentation and video training. The workflow is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

I am using Synthesia's AI avatar to create my training videos. Synthesia has made it easy for me to script my videos, and then it does the voiceovers for me in my voice. It has saved a TON of time over manually recording voiceovers. Additionally, I use most of the tools to create my training videos. Still, I also export the video and audio files for additional editing tools that aren't available in Synthesia, and doing so is easy. Overall, Synthesia is very user-friendly, and I like the tools and options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I've only used Synthesia for about 8 months to create training videos. I haven't encountered anything I dislike other than the difficulty of getting the AI-generated voiceover to pronounce some words correctly. I've used the tool that allows me to correct the pronunciation, but it doesn't always work. Additionally, the AI-generated voice-over has some issues with ending sentences. For example, the generated voice-over will end a sentence sounding like I'm asking a question even though the sentence ends in a period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before I started using Synthesia, I was manually recording voice overs for training videos. It was very time consuming and any error or mispronunciation required a complete re-recording. Synthesia has solved that problem for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

The software is incredibly user friendly, I love that I can translate content at the click of a button and the team are INCREDIBLY helpful! I like to think I am creative, but with little training or education, Synthesia helps me feel like I am a master and delivering good work to support my people! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The only downside to Synthesia is how addicted I have become to it being my go-to tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Creating instructional videos that have greater positive impact than written SOPs. Communicating to our teams in a far more pleasant manner. People are interested to see new videos come out and therefore engaged with learning something new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

It is very easy to transform an idea (or text) into a video. I have tested other platforms and Synthesia is by far the easiest one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I would like to create different avatars (some of them with a non-natural look i.e. a robot, or a dog). Seems that it is not possible at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a remote education portal to teach our internal staff. Hiring a third party is very expensive and Synthesia is transforming our boring ppt content into real-like videos, increasing the engagement of our audience and retention of the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesia?

The best thing about Synthesia is that if you've ever used a straightforward design / build tool before (e.g. PowerPoint) then you'll be able to pick up the basics faster than you'd think. Having such an intuitive design is a tremendous boon for a larger company with employees having an array of skillsets and experience with technology. I enjoy having confidence that I can take Synthesia to anyone and they can easily review and understand the video creation process. Plus, I've had excellent experiences with their customer support team. They're fast, knowledgable and respect my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

They still seem to rollout interface updates without giving proper advance notication. It's not a show stopping issue, but it can cause some bumps, even when the updates are minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We need to create videos, with or without on-screen AI personas; and we need to do so quickly. This includes video edits and updates, which can be numerous. Having Synthesia accomplishes all of this at a very good price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
