Synthesia

The core workflow is script-in, video-out: you write or paste text, select an avatar and language, and the platform renders a presenter-led video. This holds up well at volume — L&D teams producing dozens of compliance or onboarding modules report genuine throughput gains over traditional recording. The ceiling appears when you need emotional range, off-script spontaneity, or branded visuals that go beyond slide-style backgrounds. Avatar consistency across a long series is solid; voice consistency across sessions is less so, and for customer-facing content where callers hear the same agent repeatedly, that gap registers. Teams needing custom avatar likeness or advanced brand control hit a paid-only gate.
