What it is

Synthesia turns a script into a presenter-led video in the browser. You pick a stock AI avatar or create a personal one, choose from more than 140 languages and voices, and edit scenes much like slides. It can also dub existing videos into more than 70 languages, and interactive features such as roleplay sessions and surveys support training. An API is priced separately.

It suits learning, HR and communications teams producing many explainer videos. The free Basic plan gives 10 minutes of video, 500 credits and 9 stock avatars, but videos carry a Synthesia watermark. Starter costs $29 a month billed monthly and Pro $89, with credit-based allowances for video minutes and dubbing.

Best for

  • Training, onboarding and how-to videos without filming
  • Translating and dubbing existing videos for other markets
  • Companies that need brand control and enterprise security
