Synthesia

Synthesia is an AI video platform that lets you create professional videos from text — no cameras, actors or studios required. You type a script, pick from 240+ realistic AI avatars and 1,000+ voices across 160+ languages, and Synthesia generates a polished, narrated video. Used by 50,000+ companies including 90% of the Fortune 100, it's become a standard tool for training, marketing and internal communication.

What Synthesia does

Synthesia turns written content into finished video. An AI avatar presents your script with natural, lip-synced delivery, and you can build the video from a document, a link or a slide deck rather than filming anything. It also translates and dubs videos into 160+ languages in a click, adds captions, and gives teams collaboration, branding and analytics around the whole process.

Who it's for

Synthesia serves learning-and-development teams making training, sales teams creating enablement content, marketing departments producing product videos, HR teams handling onboarding, and enterprises doing compliance training and technical documentation. From startups to the Fortune 100, it's for any team that needs a lot of video but doesn't have the time or budget to film it.

What it offers

• 240+ expressive AI avatars and 1,000+ AI voices
• 160+ languages with one-click translation and AI dubbing
• AI video assistant that turns documents and links into videos
• PowerPoint-to-video conversion, screen recorder and motion graphics
• Automatic captions and a multilingual video player
• Real-time collaboration, version control and a brand kit
• Video analytics (views, drop-off, completion) and LMS integration
• Public and SSO-protected video pages

Video without a production budget

The core appeal is removing the cost and effort of traditional video. There's no filming, no crew and no re-shoots when the script changes — you just edit the text and regenerate. Synthesia says users save up to 90% on production time and cost, which turns video from an occasional, expensive project into something a team can produce regularly for training, updates and marketing.

Speak every customer's language

Synthesia's localization is a standout. One-click translation and AI dubbing into 160+ languages, with accurate lip-sync, mean a single video can reach a global audience in their own language almost instantly. The company cites translation work that once took 100 hours being done in 10 minutes — a transformative difference for multinational companies that need training and communications consistent across many regions.

Enterprise-grade and easy at once

Synthesia manages to be both approachable and enterprise-ready. It's genuinely easy — 90% of users publish their first video without a tutorial — yet it meets serious requirements with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and ISO 42001 certification, brand kits for consistency, version control, and SSO-protected pages. That combination is why it's trusted by the vast majority of the Fortune 100 while remaining usable by a solo marketer.

Update videos instead of re-shooting them

A quietly powerful benefit of text-to-video is maintenance. When a policy, price or process changes, you don't schedule a reshoot — you edit the script and regenerate the video in minutes, keeping training and communications always current. Version control syncs those updates automatically, and analytics show views, drop-off and completion so you know whether people are actually watching. For L&D and compliance teams especially, keeping a whole library of videos accurate over time becomes realistic rather than a constant production burden.

Why choose Synthesia

For any team that needs professional video at scale — in many languages, without filming — Synthesia is a market-leading choice. Its realistic avatars and voices, instant translation, document-to-video creation, collaboration tools and strong security make it a practical way to produce training, marketing and communication videos far faster and cheaper than traditional production, whether you're a startup or a global enterprise.
