Frequently asked questions about AI Characters

Real answers from real users, pulled straight from launch discussions, forums, and reviews.

  • The Synthesia EXPRESS‑1 model powers Expressive Avatars that map script to facial expressions and tone of voice, so you can get very natural-looking talking videos with believable emotion and delivery.

    • What it definitely does: converts text into expressive avatars with matching facial cues and voice tone.
    • What’s less explicit in these replies: they describe emotion and voice mapping but don’t spell out specific lip‑sync accuracy or built‑in translation workflows—check the product demos and examples for those details.

    Tough Tongue AI notes ongoing work to better adapt speaking styles over time.
