Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a camera or studio to make videos with Synthesia?
Not at all. Synthesia generates videos entirely from text scripts and AI avatars. You pick an avatar, write your script, choose a language, and the platform produces a professional-looking video — no filming required.
How many languages does Synthesia support?
Synthesia supports over 160 languages and accents. You can create the same video in multiple languages from a single script, which makes it a go-to for teams that need to localize training or marketing content globally.
How does Synthesia compare to HeyGen?
Both platforms create AI avatar videos, but Synthesia leans more toward enterprise use with stronger collaboration, compliance, and governance features. HeyGen tends to be more accessible for smaller teams and individual creators with a lower entry price.
