What is Synthesia?
Synthesia creates videos from text scripts using realistic AI presenters, aimed at companies producing training, onboarding, and explainer videos. You pick an avatar, type or paste a script, and get a finished video without filming anyone.
It supports many languages and accents, making it practical for teams that localize content across regions. Enterprise plans add collaboration features and custom avatars of real people.
Who Synthesia Is Best For
Best for: Synthesia works best for teams. Standout strengths: produces professional-looking videos with no filming; multilingual output saves localization costs.
