Does a great job. Much better than the systems in AI platforms or Sales Programs
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia gives me ideas for videos I didnt consider. Its easy to use and the quality is pretty high.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the videos get rejected when I am not being gross, just trying to show my clients how staff could do things, and it thinks I am trying to be someone I am not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me create videos for online trainings for my team, helps me create email videos when I dont want to be on camera.
Great for Presentations
What do you like best about the product?
It allows for easy editing, and creation of avatars.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't use my own Avatar. I need more instructions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to create professional videos easily
I use my personal avatar weekly!
What do you like best about the product?
I use my personal avatar on a weekly basis to record the recap for my podcast. I also use it extensively in the learning management system for my courses (to introduce topics). The AI voice in particular is outstanding. Many other tools get the sound OK but can't get the cadence right. Synthesia nails it! (Also, somehow their AI help chatbot is also really good. It nailed an on-point and detailed answer to a question in the first try).
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, they will put videos in manual review and they will take longer to generate. I know they need to do that to make the service better so I accept it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My primary use is podcast recaps. I don't have to create the recording environment every week to record the recap. I just type it in and use my AI avatar.
Excellent UX Video Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is so fast to pick up, I didn't even need any hands on guidance or support. I've found this tool to be a great way to transform lots of old blogs, social media posts, and brochures into attention grabbing videos. We've also found it useful for training videos (which takes a bit more work due to technical information, but the creation process is shortened immensely). The videos come out polished, with background music, and our brand colors with ease. Most of the avatars are also very realistic, and the library of voices is impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most videos start with "imagine a world where...", so Ai still lacks some creativity, but that is a very easy fix. Technical information always needs to be fact checked -but I would expect that in any tool. If you do need support it does feel difficult to reach a human (you go through an email sequence until it confirms you need a human) -but that seems understandable since this is such a futuristic product, and so far nothing super urgent came up for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am in Marketing. In many companies I've seen transient staff. Knowing I don't need to redo a video just because someone has moved on to another company is a great thing! This also saves time tremendously. It makes it so that almost anyone (with 0 video experience) can make professional videos.
Cuts Development Time Substantially!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Use, Professional Videos, the short production time. Love the copy and paste function of the scripts, and the ability to add pauses.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you need to replace one slide in a PPT, or the whole thing, you have to replace the entire project and start over instead of swapping out the PPT.
Also, the professional avatars sort of look like they are out of the 80s. Need updated Gen Z/Millenial professional salespeople. Some are way too stodgy for our younger salesforce.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a one-person L&D team, and I am able to produce many videos in a short time.
Well thought out and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy the platform is to use, even for people who are not advanced level of tech or video content creation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish there was move avatars allowed on the mid grade plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy for other team members to be invited and create a personal avatar. The script used helps to capture the right tones, energy and natural movement.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The design interface is easy to use and offered plenty of features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The avatar's tone is sometimes hard to manage and they are too static, it's creepy when it's long video
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It improves the amount of resources and time needed to realize a video
Synthesia For Training Modules
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using the AI module where I upload our policies and create videos from that generated content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the ability to translate into Spanish without the additional upgrade. Sometimes the AI features leaves out pertinent information from the policy, which is to be expected when using AI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating custom learning modules that aren't available in the library we purchased from our software provider.
Quick and Easy Way to Make Professional Training Videos
What do you like best about the product?
Speed and ease of making videos. Accuracy of text-to-speech. Range of avatars.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive for premium features, especially for a small nonprofit (not their problem, I realize but perhaps could allow a more a la carte selection of features so we don't pay for what we don't need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an all volunteer organization that utilizes a variety of tech platforms and works within a (lightly) regualted environment, we need a range of training tools to meet volunteers where they are most receptive to learning. Written manuals are not effective for many volunteers and live training sessions or even videos recorded using real people are cumbersome, slow and expensive. Being able to make highly-accessible videos quickly and easily (and change them frequently fills a large gap in our training approaches.
Synthesia has changed how I create value for clients
What do you like best about the product?
I used to be faced with two options - handover a static document or hire a production company to spend days filming me fumbling over a script. Now Synthesia allows me to create incredible training videos for clients in just a few hours. The clients love it, I charge more and I win more work with less effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a while for me to get the pronunciation right with my avatars.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia has allowed me to create great course content without the need for video production or upskilling in a camera facing position.
