Manage extensive content workflows with user-friendly interface and WebScan feature
What we appreciate about Arc XP is its comprehensiveness. For media organizations with numerous content contributors, creators, and curators, Arc offers a complete solution that addresses all their needs. It provides all the necessary tools for managing extensive content workflows, which we find particularly valuable. Another standout feature is its user-friendly interface. It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise. Lastly, the WebScan feature is exceptional. It functions like a newsroom project management tool, helping to organize and track content planning and workflow. This feature is unique to Arc and is highly beneficial for editorial planning.

Facilitates the creation of videos through an automated pipeline, but experienced instances where Synthesia was down, causing temporary disruptions in the video generation process
I would like to have a little bit more of a place to have testing be able to test more because we're being charged on a utilization level. And sometimes, we have to scrap what we created. It'd be nice to just use that quota for actual production videos and have something. It would be nice to just have an audio track to check the audio because we're in a technical field, and the avatars' voice rendering gets strange on certain words that we use. It gets strange with certain words that we use. We use a lot of acronyms and it's just not pure English. So it'd be nice if we didn't lose our credits on testing rather than if we just had an audio tracker to cut a lot of that stuff. So, the development testing workflows could have been improved at that time. With the voice rendering, if we could have some type of AI that could understand the state, and the company, it could probably make a lot of improvements on the language, for clarity, for spelling, it could check a lot of that stuff for us. If it had some type of intelligence to it, we'd be able to pronounce certain things and understand the context of certain things. So, just a level of smarts in there would be a huge improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Arc XP Experience Platform is easy to use and flexible for creating different components in the front end."
"It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise."
"The AI is the most valuable feature."
"Synthesia provides the ability to have the characters say nearly anything that you need them to, and its pronunciation library gives the absolute correct pronunciation that you need for any number of words."
"It's amazing. Instead of taking a video camera and making videos from scratch, we can create them in Synthesia. We pick the right avatar that matches the style we want. It's easy to learn, even for new employees. It's very user-friendly and adaptable to different content."
"The solution helps us save time."
"The feature I find most valuable is animation."
"Synthesia gave us the ability to create high-quality learning content quickly."
"Before Synthesia, recording a 20-minute script could take about one to two days. I had to review the recording to find background noise and edit it. If any change was identified, I had to redo the project. However, with Synthesia, I can have a recording within 20 minutes. It would only need minor tweaks. You could tell the difference between AI recording and human recording, but it improved the course of time in which we made the recording. Our Japanese customers didn't believe that it was AI voice. The tool's most valuable feature is quickly converting text into a usable audio format. It converts quality text to audio with an accent appropriate for regional dialects."
"The product's initial setup was easy, and it wasn't hard at all."
 

Cons

"For a small site, Arc XP Experience Platform is not worth it."
"Arc XP could add structured content."
"Synthesia's compatibility with different learning patterns could be improved. I use it with Squarespace, and it's easy, but it could be better with other elements."
"There could be animation features for Avatars. It would help us create cartoon animations."
"Synthesia's video editor needs to be improved."
"One aspect I'd like to see improvements in is the customization of avatars."
"They should indulge in better advertising and also voice modulation features for the videos should be introduced."
"The AI avatars are good, but sometimes they have unnatural movements. The lip-syncing needs to be improved."
"I have encountered glitches while working with Synthesia for an extended period. I would also like to see multiple avatars on the same screen for non-singular representation."
"The digital avatars must be refined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It begins at around four thousand dollars for a full subscription, and although the price per subscription decreases when purchasing more, it can still be a bit of a hurdle, especially for limited content needs."
"The new pricing is fair and competitive. It compares well to other options on the market. The cost ranges from three dollars to approximately twenty-nine or even thirty dollars, with some specialized packages reaching the thirty-dollar mark."
"Synthesia is a reasonable and competitively-priced product."
"The platform provides different licensing plans."
"The solution is a little pricey and should be made cheaper."
"Synthesia's pricing for the basic accounts is okay, but it would be better if it could be reduced."
"I have seen a return on investment. The quality of the videos produced is better than if I had to create and edit them myself. It's much easier using Synthesia."
"For what it is, I think Synthesia is priced pretty reasonably, but smaller businesses might be uncomfortable with such a large price tag."
