Synthesia is the leading AI video generator which allows you to generate realistic AI human avatar videos. I’ve used it for creating training modules and presentations, and it’s clear why it’s a favorite for learning and development teams. By turning text into video, Synthesia simplifies the production of high-quality content without the need for cameras, microphones, or studios.

Its most popular use case is undoubtedly training videos, but Synthesia is versatile enough to handle a wide range of needs.

Businesses use it for internal communications, onboarding new employees, and creating customer support or knowledge base videos.

On the marketing side, it excels in producing personalized sales outreach videos, B2B marketing content, explainer videos and even product demos.

I’ve personally also found it handy for website videos that needed a polished, professional touch with minimal effort. Synthesia is super easy to use, you just type in your script and then generate your video.

Two things I love about Synthesia are the ability to customize avatars and the wide variety of templates offered. When I needed to create tailored training videos for different departments, Synthesia made it easy to switch the avatar language, tone, or background to suit the audience. The library of over 230 digital avatars and support for 140+ languages means you can create globally consistent content effortlessly.

While Synthesia shines for AI talking head video generation, it’s not designed for storytelling or cinematic visuals. It’s best for teams and businesses that prioritize speed, professionalism, and brand consistency in their video production workflows.

Synthesia offers a free plan that allows users to generate up to 36 minutes of video per year, with no credit card required. For more extensive features, paid plans start at $29 per month.
