Synthesia
Synthesia creates AI-presenter videos, translates them, and supports interactive avatar experiences for business teams.
Synthesia turns scripts, prompts, documents, PowerPoint files, links, or templates into videos with AI avatars, voices, visuals, motion graphics, dubbing, translation, and interactive elements. It also offers Roleplay Sessions for conversation practice and an Interactive Avatars API for embedding live avatars in products.
Learning and development, HR, sales enablement, support, marketing, and communications teams use it for training, onboarding, explainers, localization, and internal communications. Self-serve plans use credits and usage limits; full editing is designed for desktop, and traditional live-action production or detailed physical demonstrations may require other tools.
