Synlecto runs on the lecture page. It turns one lecture into a study guide, flashcards, and short missions, then brings back the right topics later so you know what to revise next.

Works on lecture pages used across 40+ UK & Irish universities. Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and Brightspace supported.
From lecture page to next study action
Open a lecture once. Synlecto gives you something to read, something to answer, and something to come back to later.
Step 1
Open the lecture page
Use Study Companion on the page you already use for lectures. When a transcript is available, Synlecto can generate from it there.
Step 2
Get a guide, flashcards, and short missions
One lecture becomes something to read, something to answer, and something to practise in short recall reps.
Step 3
Come back when the lecture is due again
Synlecto brings back the right topics later so you do not have to rebuild the revision plan each time.
After the first session
Synlecto keeps the next step visible.
Most study tools stop at the summary. Synlecto brings back due cards, short missions, and weak topics so the lecture returns when it is worth revisiting.

Built for academic trust
A guide only earns "Full guide" when the lecture supports it.
Synlecto publishes guides through an academic assurance model that combines source provenance, publication states, quality gates, benchmark fixtures, and internal review logic. We would rather downgrade a guide honestly than overclaim its completeness.
Starts from the source
Synlecto begins with the lecture transcript or source text, not a blank prompt.
Keeps what matters
Important academic terms, comparisons, processes, and case examples are kept where they matter.
Checks lecture coverage
We look for missing sections and later-topic gaps so a guide does not quietly stop halfway through.
Labels guides honestly
When the source is weaker or incomplete, the guide says so clearly instead of overstating confidence.
Source excerpts remain truthful. Learner-facing labels may be cleaned conservatively where confidence is high, but source truth is not rewritten.
University names and logos are trademarks of their respective institutions. They are shown here to explain compatibility context, not approval or partnership.
The problem is usually the study loop, not the student.
Rewatching and rereading feel safe because they are familiar. Synlecto gives one lecture a clearer loop: read, test, and return later.

You still do the thinkingActive learning
Synlecto does not replace revision. It gives the lecture a structure you can use: guide first, recall next, then a route back in later.
What students noticed after using it
Less rewatching, less second-guessing, and a clearer next step.
Student feedback
It stopped me from mindlessly rewatching. The missions are short, but they make me think, which is the point.

The next best action removed the daily debate. I opened Synlecto and just did the thing.

I felt more in control. Small sessions, most days. The streak helped, but the structure helped more.

FAQ
Direct answers before you try it.
What do Synlecto’s guide quality labels mean?
Synlecto does not present every guide as equally complete. Transcript means a real lecture transcript. Other lecture material is labelled as source text. Guide notes are never shown as transcript. Guides are then labelled as Full guide, Partial guide, Limited-source guide, or Source text only depending on source strength and lecture coverage.
Is Synlecto free to try?
Yes. You can start free with no credit card. Paid plans increase or remove the active-guide limit and add sync, insights, and richer sharing. New guide generation still follows plan-specific usage limits.
Does it work in my VLE?
Synlecto is designed for lecture pages inside Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace. When a transcript is available, Study Companion can generate from it on the lecture page.
Do I need the browser extension?
If you want to generate directly from the lecture page, yes. If not, you can still create from uploaded files or pasted text inside Synlecto.
Is it just AI summaries?
No. The guide is only the starting point. Synlecto also gives you flashcards, short missions, and later review prompts so you actually have to recall the material.
What about privacy?
We keep data minimal and give you control. You can delete guides, clear local data, and delete your account at any time.
Do university names on the site mean endorsement?
No. They show lecture-system compatibility context only. University names and logos are there to explain where Synlecto can run, not to suggest institutional approval.
Start with your next lecture.
Quick start gives you the cleanest route in: use Study Companion on a lecture page, view the sample guide, or use the fallback create flow if capture is unavailable.
