Synthesia

Synthesia is an AI video platform for businesses that creates, edits, localizes, and publishes videos from scripts, prompts, presentations, documents, URLs, and screen recordings. It combines AI presenters and voices with a slide-based editor, translation tools, screen capture, and generative media, and is used for areas such as training, internal communications, product education, sales enablement, and marketing.

1. AI video creation: Users can start from a script or prompt, upload files such as PowerPoint presentations and PDFs, or provide a URL for the AI Video Assistant to create a multi-scene draft. Videos can use Synthesia's stock AI avatars, personal avatars, synthetic or cloned voices, templates, brand assets, and AI-generated visuals without requiring a filmed presenter.
2. Localization: Synthesia-created videos can be translated into 160+ languages, including scripts and supported on-screen text. Its separate AI Dubbing workflow can translate existing uploaded videos while preserving a speaker's voice and optionally synchronizing mouth movements to the translated speech. Captions and multilingual publishing tools support distribution to international audiences.
3. Editing and production: The browser-based editor organizes videos into editable scenes and supports scripts, avatars, media, layouts, screen recordings, branding, and generated visual assets. Its AI Screen Recorder transcribes spoken narration, can remove filler words, split recordings into logical scenes, and allows the resulting script and recording to be edited rather than requiring a new recording for every correction.
4. Plans and team controls: Synthesia currently offers Basic, Starter, Creator, and Enterprise plans. Basic is free, while Starter and Creator increase available creation capacity and features; Creator adds capabilities including API access. Enterprise adds organizational features such as shared workspaces, live collaboration, brand management, SSO, SCIM, broader avatar access, and centrally managed permissions and usage.

Synthesia is most relevant when an organization needs to produce or update repeatable business video without conventional filming, particularly when the same material must be maintained across languages. Buyers should compare expected video and AI-feature usage, localization needs, collaboration requirements, brand governance, and enterprise controls when choosing a plan.
