Why teams switch
Where a video generator runs out of road
Synthesia makes a genuinely good talking-head video. Three things tend to send teams that need real practice, not content, looking elsewhere.
01
Video, not conversation
Synthesia is an AI video-generation tool that has added roleplay. Virti is built for two-way conversations — learners talk to AI Virtual Humans that respond naturally, by voice or text, in real time.
02
Content, not coaching
Generating a talking-head video isn't coaching. Virti scores every roleplay on empathy, clarity and confidence and delivers instant, actionable feedback the moment the conversation ends.
03
Built to create, not to practise
Synthesia's core job is content creation. Virti's core job is repeatable practice — reps and teams rehearse the real conversations they face until they're ready, with analytics to prove it.

Questions
Before you switch to us
Is Virti a good Synthesia alternative?
Yes — if you want AI roleplay and coaching rather than AI video generation. Synthesia creates talking-head videos and has added roleplay; Virti is purpose-built for two-way practice with AI Virtual Humans that respond in real time and score every conversation with instant feedback.
What's the difference between Virti and Synthesia?
Synthesia's core product is AI video generation, with roleplay as an added feature. Virti's core product is AI roleplay and coaching — learners hold real, two-way conversations by voice or text, get scored on empathy, clarity and confidence, and practise until they're ready. Virti also integrates via SCORM and xAPI and is ISO 27001 certified.
Does Virti do AI roleplay, not just video?
Yes. Virti's AI Virtual Humans hold dynamic, two-way conversations that adapt to what the learner says — sales pitches, difficult customer calls, patient interactions and more — with instant AI coaching after every attempt. It is built for practice and readiness, not one-way video content.
Can Virti create training content like Synthesia?
Virti includes a no-code builder for AI roleplay scenarios and immersive video training, so teams can author realistic simulations in minutes without external services — while adding the practice, scoring and coaching layer that a video-only tool doesn't provide.
