Reviewer Insights for: Synthesia

Synthesia Likes & Dislikes

Like

The AI avatars look realistic and professional - perfect for explainer videos or internal training without spending on production. The text to speed voices are quite natural, and the ability to choose different accents and languages is great for various markets. The interface is simple to use, so even people with no experience can produce clean branded content fast. The video generation speed is also pretty decent, helping achieve a quick turnover time.

Like

1. Professional video creation 2. Time saving and effortless 3. Cost friendly

Like

The creation of avatars for any languanges

Dislike

Customization can feel limited - for example, the gestures and facial expressions of avatars are rigid and non editable. The background and scene design options could also be more dynamic. It would also be great if a small editing of a video after rendering didn't require a full re-generation, as it slows down quick updates.

Dislike

1. AI avatars look stiff and unnatural 2. Limited customization in avatars and voiceovers 3. Lacks personal connection

Dislike

Not dislike but like less, the way the app creates the videos when using pptx because the avatar is not included and you should do it manually

    IA Avatars highly recommended

    5.0
    Sep 26, 2025
    The way the app creates avatars is really great, makes you look good and it does not seem to be a IA, highly recommended to be used for your videos and trainings. On the other hand it is very simple to use, very self explained and with guidance during the whole process. I think it is the best to make your own videos very personalized and with author rights, since you are the avatar, for example.
