Sometimes, it is. #### Reasons for switching to Synthesia Because it was hard to understand it. issues with the edit --- ### Synthesia Arbitrary and restrictive "Community Guidelines" - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Reid R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Media Production - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Indifferent and not interested in helping the customer/developer in new innovations. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros I do not have a positive experience to submit to this platform. #### Cons Synthesia 1. “Community Guidelines” are far too abstract and arbitrary leaving too much interpretation to your censors of free speech to be predictable from the customer/developer. For example, the cancellation of customer/developer videos for “impersonation” seems to not allow for any names either for the avatar to call themselves by name, nor for the avatar to address any person by name is contrary to normal conservational language standards. For any customer/developer, the inability to use common language in your product does not allow for creative efforts into virtual environments to include live, virtual and constructive environments. This restrictive policy removes the ability to present a normal dialogue in virtual environments and is too restrictive, and NOT mentioned in the material you provide prior to purchase of your product. 2. The application of your “Community Guidelines” is punitive and not collaborative. Your “artificial intelligence” has been programmed to detect the potential of “impersonation” should flag the material in question AS the material is being produced in the development window of your product. You could easily program your system to advise the customer/developer of the potential issue during the input stage that would save many hours of time from the customer/developer. Your cancellation of customer/developer videos is very comparable to COVID level censorship and authoritarian means of silencing voices. 3. The inability to then edit and correct the flagged “violation of community standards” by being locked OUT of the materials that we were used during the development cycle means even a larger loss of time. 4. The lack of customer service and coordination over these issues is alarming and seems dictatorial. I see no effort to engage the customer/developer over these concerns, nor correct the waste of time that your company presents. For the reasons above, I recommend avoiding this company. There are far more providers with better products and services.
