Synthesia is an AI video platform that lets businesses make presenter-style videos with digital avatars, without cameras, actors or a studio.
In plain words
You choose an avatar, a digital presenter, from a stock library or make a custom one from photos or video of a real person, then write what it should say. Synthesia produces the video. You can also import a PowerPoint deck, and its speaker notes become the script. It is aimed especially at staff training and onboarding, and larger plans can turn one video into several language versions.
A quick example
Imagine a company updating its fire-safety training. Someone imports last year's slide deck into Synthesia. The speaker notes become the script, an avatar presents each slide, and the team gets a finished video without booking a film crew.
Where you'll meet it
- Employee training and onboarding videos.
- Turning slide decks into narrated videos.
