What is it?

Synthesia makes presenter-led videos from text, aimed squarely at businesses. Paste a script or upload a document, choose an avatar and a language, and you get a clean, corporate-ready video.

It shines for training, onboarding, product updates and internal comms, where you need many videos kept current in several languages. Edit the script and regenerate rather than reshooting, and translate a finished video with one click.

Avatars look more buttoned-up than HeyGen's, and the free plan is just a taster. Creators wanting personality may prefer HeyGen.

Who it's for

Teams that produce training and internal videos and need them updated often and in multiple languages.

Best for

  • Training and onboarding videos
  • Multilingual internal comms
  • Product update videos
  • Documents turned into video

Why it made the list

It is the most established enterprise avatar platform and the easiest to roll out across a company.
