What is Synthesia?
Synthesia lets you write a script, pick an AI presenter and get back a video that looks like it was filmed in a studio. It is a lifesaver for training, onboarding and how-to content, where you need lots of videos and frequent updates.
Templates help you lay out slides, screen recordings and text around the avatar, and updating a video is as easy as editing the script. With support for 140+ languages, you can also roll out the same training in many regions without reshooting anything.
There is no free plan, and pricing starts at $29 a month with limits on video minutes. Avatars look professional but still a bit formal, so it is better for corporate learning than for content that needs a personal, human touch.
Best for: Learning and HR teams producing lots of training videos
