What is Synthesia?
Synthesia is an AI video platform aimed at business communication. Its official site lists avatar generation, custom avatars, text-to-video, PowerPoint-to-video, voice generation, dubbing, translation, and screen recording. A typical starting point is an explanation that already exists as a script, slide deck, or process description. The platform is relevant when an organization needs to deliver that material through a presenter-led video and maintain several versions over time.
Write for a clear viewing outcome
Define what the viewer should know or do after the video. Break the script into scenes that each address one idea, and choose supporting visuals that make the explanation easier to follow. An avatar can provide continuity, but it should not compete with a complex diagram or a software demonstration. Read the script aloud and simplify sentences that require the viewer to remember too many details at once.
Plan how the video will be maintained
Synthesia's creation and localization tools support repeated production around a common format. Keep approved source scripts and label versions clearly, especially for training material that changes with a product or policy. When creating translated versions, have a suitable reviewer check terminology and delivery. Watch the final result from beginning to end, including transitions and on-screen text. A repeatable production process is valuable only if future viewers receive a current and understandable message.

Who is Synthesia for?
Useful for organizations producing training, onboarding, product explanations, or internal updates in a consistent format. It is particularly relevant when approved material needs periodic revision or adaptation for several audiences and languages.
Before you get started
Confirm avatar and voice permissions, current export allowances, and the requirements of each audience. Review pronunciation, factual accuracy, and translated meaning; generated delivery should always be checked before distribution.
