"Very easy to create a short video"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I can generate a video for explanation just by writing a script. There is no need to hire actors or set sets. It's useful when you need to give a little explanation to your organization.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I felt that corporate licenses were expensive and difficult to contract unless I continued to make videos. Also, with a personal license, the maximum length of video that you can generate per month is limited to 10 minutes, and it was impossible to add credits. Also, 10 credits will be given for a 10-minute video, but you consume one credit whether you make a 10-second video or a 1-minute video.

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

It is possible to send information that is a little eye-catching when communicating information to the organization or encouraging participation in some measures. In the past, it was necessary to ask a specialist to make an animation.

"Create great videos that convert"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I can create professional videos from text in 50+ languages. Synthesia saves my time and allows me to publish news faster and more frequently on social networks

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

It can be a bit long. It is also a bit expensive, but it is worth it

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

Publish videos quickly and easily. Avoid the tedious side of making videos for which you have to start over and over again

"A business clone for courses - AI Avatar"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

Synthesia is a fine online tool for developing online courses or having them created by a colleague. While you present this course then and then different languages. Top!

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

From text to spoken language is still not always perfect, but there is progress. To use it, it is certainly good.

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

Using Synthesia, I can put more courses online in less time. Or rather have a colleague put them up. I have more time to spare.

"Easily improve how your messages are received."
What do you like best about Synthesia?

With a limited budget and no marketing staff, my open rates on video emails and social media posts have increased by 25% since using Synthesia. It is easy to use, and I appreciate the ethnic, language, and tonal diversity. I am encouraged by the frequent improvements added at no extra cost to us. The price is just right for our nonprofit budget.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Some of the phrase endings are a bit distracting - as if the avatar is gulping or swallowing the last word; however, this is not true of all voices and not a deterrent to our continued use.

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

We continue to engage with a younger audience and older adults who all spend a lot of time in front of screens. They report reading little and are more likely to watch a brief video than read our messages. Using Synthesia is also improving my messaging skills with better response rates.

"Versatile platform for AI created human video"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

Synthesia's intuitive platforms allows creating videos with an AI-created human being. I was impressed with the lip syncing and character animation capabilities. The new easy to use API will make creating content very convenient. I also appreciate that the team seems very responsive and eager for feedback.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Syntesia is a fairly young company, which means that some of the features I would like are in the development pipeline.

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

Synthesia has many applications especially in education and marketing. We are testing it for video surveys in emerging markets.

"Awesome but needs to be improved"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

Best about Synthesia is that it is a full of possibilities tool for communication and customer experience.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The editing tools still do not give all the possibilities. You cannot test the video before finalizing it, background photos show sync failures. That reduces the quality of the final product.

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

We´d like to use Synthesia to resolve direct communication with our clients through our website and other digital communication channels.

"Does almost everything I need, just missing two or three features."
What do you like best about Synthesia?

The ease of adding a live character to a otherwise boring and less intuitive slideshow.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The fact that you cannot use a video to add the AI upon, you need to use a pptx format per exemple.

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

The cost for a custom made voice-over and different actors that would otherwise be needed for a video.

"Easy to update content"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

Updating our content is very easy as the scripts and slides can be changed very quick. This means we do not have to go back in and re-record a whole session just to change one thing.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Changing some of the templates can be difficult or changing the aminations which makes the video impossible to publish as it will not overrride the error.

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

Faster way to create training content for our company, and a easier way to update videos without having to recreate the whole video. Nice to not have a specific individual doing the voice over.

"A Positive Experience"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

Creating a short video from start to finish is incredubly easy. The updated feature of creating videos portrait orientation is the most convenient for my company.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

It should be easier to create templates from previously created videos. Needing to create them seperate of an actual video is a pain so I haven't bothered to create many.

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

Synthesia has drastically lowered the cost of creating videos. All our customers aren't necesarrily interested in real actors because of the high cost at scale. Synthesia helps us drastically lower that cost and offer an affordable alternative to their liking.

"Very useful, but still to be improved"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

-saves us a lot of time in terms of production - lots of choice - captioning is good - like the gestures implementation - certainly a game changer for our company

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

- not enough choice in terms of export quality - would like the option to choose 4K - can't generate specific clips, causing us to generate an entire project again just to fix one small error - buggy, sometimes you'll press back from a project and it'll take you somewhere it shouldn't have. another example is when i started a Ai project, put all the information in and then it went back to the original menu and all work saved was lost. -generating can take very long for projects that are short - pasting in text will space it weird, won't put it in correctly forcing me to manually go through and space out all the text correctly... this particular issue needs to be fixed please :) - sometimes you'll put in normal text and the voice will take random pauses mid sentence for no reason - can look very unrealistic at times - some of the voices are very obviously robots

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

saves us a lot of time in terms of us filming, recording and setting up voice overs for clients. this benefits me as it cuts out all those steps and allows me to do it all from my workstation

"Pretty good video assistant tool"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

The ability to easily edit videos without re-recording.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Limited female voice selection. In American US voices, limited to slight accents or white female voices. No African-American presence. Intonations are missing. Cannot form questions or exclamations. Speed adjustment is requested. The speed is too quick in some instances. The greatest feedback from users is that the speech is too fast. Am now downloading into Camtasia to edit the clip speed. In some instances, recording videos myself have turned out quicker.

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

When products have changed, rather than re-record a video, I can edit the text and republish.

"Best AI video tool on the market so far. But there is much to improve in the languages voiceovers."
What do you like best about Synthesia?

It's super easy to use, great customisation and selection of avatars! It's very playful and can save a lot of time recording videos!

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The voiceovers in german, spanish, french or italian sound still very robotic and not natural.

"Synthesia survey"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

The large variety of avatars and backgrounds

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Avatars are too static, they always face cameras, and they're not enough diversity of clothing. And also the voice tones are a little bit limited.

"Good product but weird pricing model"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

It's quick and easy. Not all the voices sound natural, but there is one mens voice and one womens voice that sounds very human.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The pricing is weird. Supposedly, once you use up a certain amount of time, you can't make any more videos. That makes the product infeasible for larger projects. They should consider pricing by volume of video, not by month.

"It's OK if you happen to live in Europe or US, otherwise support is lacking"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

The number of avatars and accents. But to be honest, I don't like the fact you cannot alter a rendered video (no access to source file) so you cannot make changes and render again.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

The fact that I had to wait three or more days for render of video because you all went on holiday and didn't give a shit about your customers. As long as you were having a rest, that's great. Your customers can sit and wait while you're busy partying. I also cannot find the source file so if I want to make a change to a rendered video I have to start from scratch again. This is a serious weakness

"Interesting solution, but still has to evolve a lot!"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

They have the best lipsync quality among all the services available in the market, the last avatars are good looking and a little more modern and updated.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

In general the avatars are outdated and non sense. They create many voices in USA english, but only a few for other languages. In a world so diverse like today, they should include avatars that could express this multitude of cultures and languages.

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

When it is urgent to create a video and you have no actors, no place to record, you can consider to use Synthesia, but just for a few use cases right now; but is a valid and cheap solution.

"My review"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

I like the ease of use, and realism/appearance of the avatars - especially the lip-sync capabilities.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

I think there need to be more options for voices - especially urban/African/Caribbean tones. I would also like to see more clothing options for the avatars. There is an inconsistency in the accuracy of the audio - post rendering. I have experienced drastic changes compared to when I previewed the audio.

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

It has helped me to be more creative, but I wish there were more options to customise the avatars. I'm sure that's not a good business move on your part, but many of my clients simply can't afford a custom avatar at that price. Maybe offer a higher tier for advanced customisation???

"Easy-to-use and immediate wow-effect"
What do you like best about Synthesia?

The fact that you can create a video in multiple languages and change it in a sec after you found a mistake or the information changed is a breeze. We stopped hassling around with making videos, having to take care of background, lighting, multiple runs, editing, etc. This is our way to go now, and we have already had clients wanting to use it for their own business.

What do you dislike about Synthesia?

Mass generation of videos can be improved; we'd like to create millions per day, all personalized, but that's not an option yet. I know it'll come though; they've been adding new features very regularly.
