What is Synthesia?

Synthesia is an AI video creation platform. You write a script, choose an AI avatar and voice, and it generates a finished video of that avatar presenting your words - no camera, studio, or actor required. It sits in the video and audio production category and is widely used for training, explainer, and corporate communication videos.

What you can do with Synthesia

Synthesia is built for producing presenter-style videos at scale. Practical examples:

Create training and onboarding videos without filming anyone
Produce explainer and product videos from a script and a few slides
Translate a single video into many languages with localized voiceovers
Update a video instantly by editing the script instead of reshooting
Generate consistent corporate or course content across a whole library

How to get started with Synthesia

Synthesia is approachable because it works like building a slide deck. A few tips:

Sign up at synthesia.io and start a video from one of its ready templates
Write a clear, conversational script - it becomes the avatar's narration
Pick an avatar and voice that match the audience and tone you want
Add slides, text, and visuals to each scene to support the spoken content
