What is Synthesia?
Synthesia generates videos of an AI avatar speaking a script you provide, in dozens of languages, without needing a camera, studio or human presenter. It's widely used for training videos, product explainers and internal communications where a talking-head video is useful but production resources are limited. Plans are priced per seat with a monthly video-minute allowance; there's a limited free trial rather than an ongoing free tier.
