Human-Like Avatars, Expensive but Effective
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the robust setup process of Synthesia, which makes the experience more personalized compared to other AI video platforms. I love how Synthesia provides a very humanoid-looking avatar for videos, making education feel more personal. It's incredibly valuable that I no longer need to re-record videos due to human error or do extensive editing, thanks to Synthesia. I enjoy the ability to choose different avatars and voices, even matching them to my appearance and voice, which enhances personalization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the pricing of Synthesia to be a bit high, which limits my ability to use it for more personal and versatile purposes beyond monetary-based applications. Additionally, I struggle with the speech synthesis feature, where typing in original or interesting words often results in pronunciation issues that are hard to manage. It's not clear how to make this process easier, which poses a challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to create personalized educational videos with humanoid avatars, reducing the need for retakes and extensive editing caused by human error.

Post Synthesia review
What do you like best about the product?
An ai software specialized for quick talking head video
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the voice is attached to the character and cannot be altered. It would have been nicer if we could adjust the voice as we want as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia is really good for any employees to rapidly develop a video. It is pretty straight forward since you just type in the content and most of work is already done.
Realistic video development
What do you like best about the product?
It allows us to turn text heavy screens, into easy to make videos that enhance the experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to improve pronunciation within the Ai voices
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
allows us to create more videos, faster, and high-quality
Synthesia for eLearning modules
What do you like best about the product?
The most effective part about synthesia is being able to give training a personalized touch without having to hire actors, film crews etc.
It is inexpensive and time efficient.
It is inexpensive and time efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our organization creates training related to Financial services and from time to time the content gets flagged. it's difficult to pinpoint the reasons for the content being flagged.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's is providing an alternative training medium to our clients that is low cost and quick. It allows us to provide our clients options when it comes to training modality.
Great product, it does need a little bit of tweaking though
What do you like best about the product?
it is VERY intuitive to work around it. The creation of the videos is quite simple and easy to go: add, add, add and boom! it is done! It does integrate easily wherever you need or want to use it. I love that you can leave them pending and go back to working with them exactly in the same spot.
Customer support is great too! The bot has a wide knowledge base and human support is superb! to the point of feeling a little bit spammy, but I DO prefer a customer support that checks in constantly rather than one that you barely notice it
I find this very important when you are moving your videos across platforms and social media.
I used it constantly to make sure I got every single drop of juice of an already great product.

What do you dislike about the product?
However, it does lack variety. the backgrounds should have a wider variety and even the models. it is very stiff and standard when it comes to creating videos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating content that invites interaction and that allows you to also keep yourself anonymous is what I was looking for
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
The product is fairly easy to use and very cost efficient when created eLearning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mothing that I can think of. I do find it interesting that this is a mandatory field on this survey
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is providing a platform that allows for more cost efficient design/development work
Started using this recently, so far so good
What do you like best about the product?
The personal avatars creation, very cool
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the processing can take a while, but I'm sure as the site develops this will be reduced
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having to record every video fresh
A brilliant way of building tutorials for your applications
What do you like best about the product?
Using Synthesia has made creating tutorial videos incredibly easy for our online platform. What used to take hours of filming, editing, and voiceover work can now be done in a fraction of the time. The interface is simple to use, and the AI avatars and voices look and sound professional. It’s been a huge time-saver for producing consistent, high-quality tutorials without needing a full video production setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main issue I have, is the way the ai voice sometimes speeds up or changes the accent on personal Ai avatars, I need to update the sentence structure for it reinvoke the accent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves a great deal of time to create easy to understand tutorials, I was able to create an Avatar, write a script and create multiple videos in a short amount of time.
Synthesia: Where My Words Found Their Voice
What do you like best about the product?
I didn’t expect to be impressed. But I was.
At first glance, Synthesia looked like another AI tool promising polished videos. What I found was something more—something that spoke to my strategic communicator’s soul.
Clarity. Precision. Control.
The interface? Clean. The workflow? Intuitive. I could script a message, choose a persona, and watch it come alive—without the usual production chaos. No lighting setups. No retakes. Just clarity, distilled.
Then came the rhythm.
I experimented with tone—serious, warm, witty. Synthesia didn’t flinch. It adapted. My mentorship scripts? Delivered with empathy. My advocacy pieces? Firm, but never cold. It was like handing my voice to a trusted partner who knew when to lean in, when to pause, when to punch.
And the avatars? Surprisingly human.
Not uncanny. Not robotic. Just enough realism to engage without distracting. I found myself watching my own scripts with fresh eyes, hearing them with fresh ears.
What I liked most?
The power to test tone.
To revise.
To iterate.
To speak without speaking.
It gave me room to play. To refine. To empower others with messages that felt alive.
So yes—Synthesia earned its place in my toolkit.
Not just as a video generator.
But as a collaborator in clarity.

Synthesia: The Gaps Between the Magic
I liked a lot. But I didn’t love everything.
Let’s start with the avatars.
They’re good—sometimes great. But not quite me.
There’s a stiffness in the delivery, a subtle lag in emotional nuance. When I’m mentoring or advocating, I need warmth that breathes, conviction that lands. Synthesia gets close… but not close enough.
Customization? Limited.
I wanted to tweak gestures, adjust pacing, maybe even modulate facial expressions. Instead, I got presets. Useful, yes. But not empowering.
It felt like painting with a fixed palette when I needed full-spectrum control.
Then there’s the voice.
It’s clear. It’s consistent.
But it’s not dynamic.
When I write scripts with punchlines, pivots, or pauses for impact, the delivery sometimes flattens. Humor loses its edge. Empathy loses its curve.
I found myself rewriting—not to improve the message, but to accommodate the tool.
And the cost?
Let’s just say: it’s not built for the scrappy advocate or the solo mentor.
Scaling content means scaling budget.
That’s a barrier—for those of us trying to empower others without a production team.
Finally, the feedback loop.
I wanted more insight.
Which tone worked best? Which avatar resonated?
Synthesia doesn’t tell me. It delivers, but it doesn’t listen.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem 1: High-Barrier Video Production
Traditional video creation demands time, equipment, and technical skill. For mentors, advocates, and speakers, that’s a bottleneck.
Benefit to You:
Synthesia removes the gatekeepers. You can turn a script into a polished video in minutes—no camera, no crew. That means faster delivery of your message, whether it’s a mentoring module, a legal explainer, or a motivational segment.
Problem 2: Inconsistent Tone and Delivery
When delegating video production or relying on live presentations, tone can drift. Nuance gets lost. Impact suffers.
Benefit to You:
Synthesia lets you test tone, iterate delivery, and lock in the emotional cadence you want. Whether you're scripting for empathy, authority, or humor, you control the rhythm. That’s gold for someone who adapts storytelling to audience needs.
Problem 3: Scaling Personalized Communication
You mentor diverse audiences. You advocate across contexts. Repeating the same message live? Inefficient.
Benefit to You:
Synthesia lets you scale without dilution. You can create tailored videos for veterans, young professionals, or legal audiences—each with its own avatar, tone, and pacing. Your message stays sharp, even as your reach expands.
Problem 4: Limited Feedback Loops in Static Media
Written documents don’t show tone. Audio lacks visual engagement. Live talks aren’t easily revisited.
Benefit to You:
Synthesia bridges that gap. Your mentees can replay your message, absorb your tone, and reflect on your delivery. It turns passive content into active mentorship.
