Overview

Synthesia is an AI video generation platform that creates professional presenter videos using AI avatars, eliminating the need for cameras, studios, or video production equipment. Input a script, select from over 230 AI avatars representing diverse demographics, choose a language from over 140 options, and Synthesia generates a polished, lip-synced presenter video. The platform's translation and voice dubbing features enable a single master video to be localized into dozens of languages with accurately lip-synced avatar presentation, a production capability that previously required multiple recording sessions or expensive dubbing studios.

Custom avatars can be created from recorded footage of a real person, enabling a company spokesperson or subject matter expert to appear in unlimited videos without being present for each recording. Templates cover common corporate use cases: product demos, employee onboarding, training modules, sales enablement, and internal communications. Plans start at $29/month for individuals, with business plans at $89/month adding custom avatars and priority support.

Synthesia is most impactful for organizations producing high volumes of training, enablement, or product videos where production cost per video needs to decrease without sacrificing professional presentation.
