Compare Synthesia with other popular tools in the same category.
Synthesia allows me to offer options for video development to faculty beyond themselves getting in front of the camera. So easy to use, and fast processing.
I wish we had more avatar options. More diversity in options.
Synthesia allows me to create instructional videos without having to worry about scheduling and working around live talent. The speed of use and implementation is awesome.
Ease of use and available avatars. I like the opportunity to clone voices and create custom avatars suing green screens. I was introduced to the platform by another user and respected friend and after doing my own evaluation, I chose Synthesia.io as my go to platform and pleased I have.
Not real pleased with pricing model for a mid-level corporate type user. Also there needs to be improvment on how text is displayed and timing of same as one might have with ARTICULATE'S Storyline.
Access to talent and the ability to makes eeits on the fly when ever and where ever I am. I'm extremely productive with this platform. My offerings to clients has increased also and the same with quick turn times.
Many tools , easy to use, very professional, the customer service is even more than expected
I'm very satisfied with everything. Maybe some new staff needs better training
I dont like to be on cameras, so the avatars is my favorite tool and a life saver!
Ability to create quick help videos in different lanquages
Nothing! Its great. But I think you should be able to have an account wthout having to pay every month. Just pay as you use.
I can create videos in different languages
Ease of use of the interface Quality of avatars Possibility of scene customization
Sometimes (not often) it is difficult to get perfect Italian pronunciation of some words
You can create very cute and realistic videos without the need to hire a real person.
The feature I like the most is the ability to create movies that can be quickly adjusted. Like - when I need a video in a different language, something in the video has changed, etc. - I can update it in minutes, not in days. It's very convenient to work with text spoken by avatar and presentation in the browser instead of recording studio, PowerPoint, and video software. Synthesia is a great tool for product demos, explanatory videos, and learning materials.
Some avatars are performing "random" gestures (older ones). You need to stick to the newest (V2, V3) versions.
I am preparing short explanatory movies and demo videos for my product.
Love how they created a custom avatar of me...and their wonderful customer service
Wish it was easier to incorporate my voice with my custom avatar...and that there was more variety with hand gestures
Content creation for online teaching
I ran into a little bit of user issue/error as I didn't know what terminology was for actions and ended up using minutes by using duplicate instead of copy feature. Help was almost instantly and contacting them was reasonable.
I think the voices could get a little bit better but it isn't bad at all.
Hiring someone to read a short script is too expensive. This tool allowed me to utilize synthesia and reach that goal for marketing.
Very simple to use. The end result far outweighs the effort required to produce such professional content
There should be a selection for ethnic voices that would better align with ethnic avatars
It provides a face; a spokesperson that makes it more appealing, especially for training.
Synthesia makes making videos easier, and it also makes them faster and cheaper. Normally, making videos is hard and costs a lot of money and time, but with Synthesia, you can make good videos quickly and without spending as much money. and most important the AI characters are more human than any other tool available.
We get 1 free avatar with the license but If we can get the voice cloning also that will be so wonderful, and at the same time if we can import PPT slides with animation controls so that we can add custom avatars with audio syncing and create stunning eL from this.
- Cost of high quality studio recordings - Cost of high quality audio recordings - Localization of language and audio translation - It improves the timely delivery
