Build Realistic
Training Roleplays
in Hours, Not Weeks

VTS Editor lets your L&D team create immersive, branching roleplay simulations with AI — so learners practice real-world situations before they face them.

Our honest take: Genially is a great platform for creating visually engaging interactive content. VTS Editor does one thing differently — it's purpose-built for training and skill acquisition through roleplay simulations. If developing real-world behavioral skills is your challenge, you're in the right place. Because we learn by doing.

Traditional training
isn't working

Slide decks don't build skills. Learners forget 80% of passive content within a week.
Custom development takes months. By the time it's ready, context has changed.
Off-the-shelf content is generic. It doesn't reflect your products, culture, or processes.
Learners disengage. Low completion rates mean your investment is wasted.

Practice makes
performance

Real-world scenarios put learners inside real scenarios they'll face on the job.
AI generates a complete scenario from a brief — your team focuses on pedagogy, not production.
Fully customizable to your brand, characters, products, and processes.
Gamification & instant feedback keep completion rates above 90%.

They learn best by
experiencing it!

Immerse your learners in realistic simulations and involve them in concrete situations they will face in the field. With near-real conditions, learners acquire the confidence and skills to act appropriately in their professional environment.

  • Improves knowledge retention through experiential learning
  • Strengthens involvement and engagement of learners
  • Promotes skill development through concrete application
  • Provides personalized feedback at every decision point

Where Genially users
hit a wall

These aren't our claims — they're recurring patterns from verified reviews and feedback from L&D professionals who switched to VTS Editor.

🔀

No real branching for roleplay

Genially's interactions are based on hotspots and page navigation — not conversation-style branching. Building a realistic sales or compliance roleplay requires complex workarounds that quickly hit a ceiling.

Structural limitation of the platform — noted by L&D professionals on G2
🎙️

No voice synthesis — audio is manual

Genially has no built-in voice generation. Any audio narration requires an external recording session or third-party TTS tool — adding cost, complexity, and significant production time to each module.

Mentioned as a key friction point for corporate L&D teams
📡

Limited LMS tracking depth

SCORM export is available on paid plans but with limited xAPI support, making it difficult to track individual learner paths, scores, and skill progression inside a professional LMS environment.

Documented limitation cited across G2 and Capterra reviews
🤖

No AI scenario generation

Every piece of content in Genially must be written and structured manually. There is no AI engine to generate branching dialogues, characters, or evaluation criteria from a training brief — making production slow for complex L&D projects.

Core product gap — confirmed by platform documentation
🌍

No auto-translation

Producing a multilingual training module in Genially means duplicating the entire content and manually re-editing each language version — including re-uploading all audio. A significant bottleneck for global L&D teams.

Reported by international L&D teams as a critical blocker
🏷️

Branding on free content

The free plan displays Genially's watermark on all published content — a professional barrier for corporate training deployments. Moving to paid plans adds per-user costs that scale quickly for larger L&D teams.

Building the same roleplay —
two very different journeys

A sales roleplay module: 5 decision branches, 3 characters, voice narration, gamification. Here's what it takes in each tool.

🎨 Genially
1
Write the full script and design the layout manually — no scenario generator, every dialogue and visual element must be authored from scratch.
~3 hours
2
Build interactivity with hotspots and navigation — simulate branching with linked pages. No dialogue branching engine; complex paths require many workaround slides.
~3 hours
3
Record and upload audio externally — no voice synthesis. Requires an external TTS tool or recording session; audio files uploaded and synced manually.
~3 hours
4
Simulate gamification visually — no scoring engine or leaderboard. Points and badges must be represented as design elements, not tracked natively.
~2 hours
5
Export and publish — SCORM on paid plan. Limited tracking; learner path and skill data may not fully transfer to your LMS.
~1 hour
⏱ ~12 hours · No L&D-specific tooling · Manual audio required
⚡ VTS Editor
1
Write a brief — "A sales rep faces a client objection on price. 5 decision points, B2B context."
~15 min
2
AI generates the full scenario — branching dialogue, characters assigned, feedback text, scoring criteria. Review and adjust.
~30 min
3
Pick characters and voices — choose from 100+ characters, assign natural-sounding voices per character. Preview instantly.
~20 min

Activate gamification — enable points, badges, and skill scoring. Native — no custom variables needed.

L&D teams who made
the switch

★★★★★

"We used Genially for micro-learning visuals and loved the design quality. But for sales roleplay scenarios, VTS Editor is a completely different league. The AI generates the full dialogue structure in minutes — we went from days of manual work to a published module in under two hours."

L&D Manager, Retail Group
↳ Previously used Genially
★★★★★

"Genially is beautiful for presentations, but it couldn't do what we needed — realistic branching conversations with character voices. VTS Editor gave us that out of the box. Our compliance training completion rates jumped from 41% to 89% within the first month."

Romain B.
Training Director, Insurance Company
↳ Previously used Genially
★★★★★

"We had to record all audio manually in Genially and redo it every time the script changed. With VTS Editor, voice synthesis is instant in 25+ languages. The multilingual deployment that used to take us 3 weeks now takes half a day."
