Synthesia: pick an AI human, type a script, get a talking video

Shaan describes Synthesia.io: you choose from a set of realistic human presenters, type a script, hit enter, and the chosen 'person' speaks it on camera with their lips moving — a cheap on-demand replacement for hiring someone to film an explainer video.

“this other one's called Synthesia.io and basically you just, so there's just like this. There's 5 thumbnails of like, you know, like generic looking woman, generic looking man, black man, white Asian woman, white man, whatever. And you just pick like who you want your character, who do you want to be your talker? And it's like a real human. It's not like an avatar. And then you just write like, you just write a script.”
