Velo vs Synthesia
Synthesia is an AI avatar video platform - you write a script (or hand it a doc or URL) and an avatar presents it. Velo is the video layer for work - it shows your actual product on screen, narrated in your own voice, and turns each video into a written guide. Both make video; one presents with an avatar, the other shows your real UI.

Synthesia's video is built around a presenter avatar.

Your actual product on screen
Velo shows your real UI - accurate to what users really see - not a presenter avatar.
- 02
Narration in your own voice
Every video is voiced in your own cloned voice with VeloTwin, not a stock avatar reading a script.
- 03
A written guide from every video
Each video ships with a written doc, so your audience can read it or watch it.
