Synthesia CEO says video will eventually replace text in most everyday communication
synthesiaIO · x · 2026-07-28
Synthesia co-founder and CEO Victor Riparbelli argues that text is just a compressed communication format and that video will eventually replace it for most uses.
He says people naturally prefer consuming information in a more “real-life” visual form, and predicts that most communication will become visual as video gets as scalable as text. The post is a direct quote of his broader thesis rather than a product announcement.
