What is Synthesia?
Synthesia is an AI video platform specialized in creating professional business videos with AI avatars. The platform is particularly popular for corporate training, e-learning, product updates and internal communications. With more than 230 AI avatars in more than 120 languages, Synthesia makes it possible to quickly produce the same video content in multiple languages — without a camera crew, studio or voice actor.
How does Synthesia work?
The process is simple: users upload a script, choose an AI avatar and background, and Synthesia generates a video where the avatar presents the script with lip sync. The AI avatars are designed for business use: professional, diverse and available in various ages, genders and ethnicities.
Synthesia also supports custom avatars: companies can create an AI clone of their own employee or spokesperson — making the video output more authentic for internal communications.
