Both rely on AI video and avatars. Synthesia is a broad video platform for communications, marketing and training. Omnora has specialised in L&D teams since 2011: training from your knowledge, with quizzes, SCORM export and hosting in the EU.

  • Synthesia: AI avatar videos from scripts, slides or documents
  • Omnora: Training from your knowledge: interview, documents, screen recording

Two good tools, two jobs.

Synthesia produces studio-grade avatar videos from text, slides and documents, fast and in many languages. Omnora starts where a video has to become training.

When is Synthesia the better choice?

If you need avatar videos for many purposes, from marketing to internal communication, and your content already exists as a script or slides, Synthesia is an excellent tool.

  • Product and campaign videos
  • Quick avatar clips from a finished script
  • External communication

When is Omnora the better choice?

When the knowledge still has to come out of your experts’ heads, quiz questions should write themselves and your data has to stay in the EU.

  • Training from interviews, slides and recordings
  • Quizzes, learning outcomes and SCORM for your LMS
  • Data protection, hosting in the EU and German-speaking service

Omnora in numbers

  • since 2011 specialised in L&D: Corporate learning from Frankfurt am Main
