About Synthesia

Synthesia enables organizations to create polished, branded videos directly from text scripts without requiring video editing expertise or specialized equipment. By selecting from a library of expressive AI avatars or building a custom one, users can generate broadcast-quality content in minutes rather than hours. The platform's AI avatars feature realistic lip-syncing and support for over 160 languages, making it particularly valuable for enterprises managing global communications, training programs, and customer-facing content at scale. The platform excels at multilingual content delivery through its 1-click translation feature and built-in localization tools. Organizations can maintain consistency across markets by applying brand kits with custom logos, colors, and styles to every video. Real-time team collaboration, version control, and instant publishing eliminate the friction of traditional video workflows while ensuring brand integrity across all distributed content. Synthesia integrates seamlessly into Learning & Development ecosystems through SCORM export for LMS platforms and built-in analytics that track viewer engagement, drop-off points, and completion rates. The AI screen recorder with automatic transcription further accelerates content creation by converting recorded sessions into shareable videos. Enterprise customers report significant productivity gains—reducing multi-hour production cycles to 30 minutes and localizing 100 hours of content in under 10 minutes. Security and compliance are built into the platform. Synthesia holds SOC 2 Type II certification, maintains GDPR compliance, and carries ISO 42001 certification, making it suitable for regulated industries and organizations with strict data governance requirements.
