Synthesia turns text or a document into a training video with an avatar presenter, slides and voiceover in dozens of languages. It has templates for briefings, onboarding and policy updates, collaborative script editing, a brand kit and pronunciation control. It is built for corporate learning: when a policy changes you update the video instead of reshooting it.

Pitfalls to watch at work
- The model shortens and simplifies a script taken from a document: check a safety briefing or a security policy against the original word for word
- Plan minutes are counted per generated video, and every regenerated version uses them again
- Employees' personal data in a script (names, positions, salaries) goes into a video only with their consent
Billing
Card payment on the website through Stripe, invoices for companies.
