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 Germany.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is Omnora an alternative to Synthesia?

For corporate learning, yes. Omnora also creates AI avatar videos and adds training from AI interviews, AI-generated quiz questions, SCORM export and hosting in Germany.

When is Synthesia the better choice?

Can we reuse existing content?

Yes. Presentations, PDFs and videos can be uploaded straight into Omnora and turned into training.

Where is our data processed?

In ISO 27001-certified data centres in Germany, processed in the EU and with no data transfer to the US. Your data is never used to train AI models.
