HeyGen vs. Synthesia

I evaluated many different AI avatar options and HeyGen stood head and shoulders above the rest. They have done a really good job of their realism and voice cloning. I've also started to experiment with their interactive avatars and they are a really powerful feature for assisting customers in their inquiries.

If you need to create explanatory content or videos where the narrator isn't on the front page, Synthesia is a great ally. AI is not welcomed by everyone, or, to put it differently, people don't want to learn from AI, it feels fake, or takes out value. People want to engage with a real human, especially in a learning enviroment. I'd suggest using Synthesia because it saves you a lot of time, but if the avatar is the center of video, it might be an issue. You can note by the way the mouth moves that it's AI. There are ways in Synthesia where you can remove the avatar and just hear its voice (which are great btw) or make them smaller so your atention doesn't go there all the time.

HeyGen's platform is very user friendly and even people with less to no video production experience are able to operate HeyGen's platform. This has opened up many possibilities from speed of production to rough cut table reads using avatars before ever setting foot in a studio. The less time in the studio, the faster we can create videos.

Synthesia is very good with someone needing to create videos and not a lot of knowledge on the matter. It's easy to use, intuitive and has a lot of tutorials on how to use their features

HeyGen's avatar and voice technology were superior to any other AI avatar platforms I tested. They had more control and realism compared to the competitors.

Synthesia is the best in the business.

• HeyGen has allowed us to complete videos in 1 week vs. 3 weeks with traditional video production processes
• HeyGen is easy enough to use, even our writers can generate avatars
• We have even experimented with Avatar-only videos which may eliminate studio time all together.
