What is Synthesia?
Synthesia turns scripts into presenter-led videos with AI avatars and voices in many languages, using templates and a familiar editor built for corporate training and communication.
Users pick a stock or custom avatar, paste a script, and the platform produces a narrated video with slides, media, and captions, translatable into more than a hundred languages with lip-synced dubbing. Enterprise features include brand kits, SCORM export, collaboration, and security certifications.
Enterprise-ready avatar video with strong localisation and compliance, replacing camera shoots for training content.
