Synthesia and DeepL partner to power multilingual video innovation with Language AI
What’s more transformative than an AI video production studio that can turn any script you type into video content in minutes? How about this: An AI video production studio that can show virtual presenters delivering that message fluently in over 30 languages. That’s what’s now possible, thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between the AI video generator Synthesia, and DeepL.
The partnership brings together two Europe-founded unicorn businesses that are pioneering AI innovations to transform how people and businesses communicate. Both DeepL and Synthesia launched in 2017, DeepL in Cologne and Synthesia in London. Both have developed specialized AI models that enable people to express themselves authentically and naturally while eliminating barriers and costs. By partnering together, we’re able to multiply the positive impact of both DeepL’s Language AI and Synthesia’s groundbreaking virtual avatars. We’re enabling an entirely new application of Language AI and putting DeepL at the heart of how businesses create video content.
A shared mission to eliminate language barriers
Synthesia’s AI video platform is used by over 65,000 companies, including Heineken, Reuters, Zoom and Dupont, for applications like sales, marketing, internal communications, customer support, and training. When users upload a script, Synthesia creates a video with a lifelike avatar delivering it, and capturing the precise mood, tone and message that the user requires. Enterprise customers can even upload smartphone or webcam video of themselves to create their own custom avatar, a digital twin that delivers their ideas and messages in their voice, with their expressions, and with top-quality performance every time.
This joint solution unlocks significant new value for global enterprises. Now, a user’s script can be translated instantly into fluent, context-aware speech in Japanese, German, Chinese, Arabic, or any other DeepL-supported language — delivered by a digital avatar that looks and sounds just like them. For shared customers of DeepL and Synthesia, it’s like gaining fluency overnight — without sacrificing nuance, tone, or professional polish.
“Synthesia’s AI video capabilities and DeepL’s Language AI are a natural fit, and the joint solution is having a huge impact for our customers,” says Brian Jambor, Head of Partnerships, Synthesia, “Major enterprises like Zoom, DuPont, and Electrolux save hundreds of hours by leveraging our video production and translation features to improve communication with their global workforce. Our partnership is generating entirely new opportunities to apply our technologies for transforming how businesses communicate.”
Driving partner-led innovation for global enterprises
Our collaboration with Synthesia is part of a wider partnership program, which we’ve launched to help maximize the potential of Language AI through innovative solutions that are designed and built by the businesses we collaborate with. Through this program, we’re identifying partners, like Synthesia, who share our values around the responsible use of AI and a deep commitment to data privacy and security. By working with innovative and forward-looking organizations with solutions that complement our own, we will quickly broaden the scope of what customers can do with DeepL.
“As we expand our ecosystem, Synthesia sets a great example of what’s possible when we co-develop and co-promote transformative AI-powered experiences,” explains Tom Delhez, Director of Global Partnerships for DeepL. “Synthesia is a great example of what can happen when partners start to use DeepL to power their experiences. We’re really excited to see how other innovative businesses partner with us, and the innovations they’ll come up with using Language AI.”
Synthesia and DeepL will be co-hosting an exclusive executive DeepL Connect — taking place on April 3 in London — where we’ll be holding a panel discussion covering the latest developments in the world of AI and AI-powered translation, and how DeepL's Language AI, merged with Synthesia's unique AI video generator, can make your business stand out from competitors.
