From recorded lecture to active study

Turn a recorded lecture into clear notes and a study guide.

Open a lecture video or transcript you already have access to. Synlecto builds source-grounded lecture notes and a study guide, then helps you recall, practise, check and revisit what matters.

Questions, answered

Before you add the companion.

Direct answers about supported lecture workflows, source grounding and continuing in the web app.

Is Synlecto an AI lecture notes generator?

Synlecto uses AI to organise usable lecture source material into source-grounded notes and a study guide, then adds recall, flashcards, missions and quizzes. It keeps coverage limits visible and does not replace the lecture or official course materials.

What happens after I install Study Companion?

Pin the extension, sign in once, then open a supported lecture player and choose Create guide. Synlecto keeps the resulting guide and next study actions available in your library.

What does the Study Companion add beside a lecture?

It adds a source-grounded guide, active recall, short missions, optional bite-sized quizzes, Studio and source-return prompts beside supported lecture material, so the next study action stays visible.

Does Synlecto work with Panopto and Canvas?

Synlecto is designed for lecture recordings and course material opened through common university systems, including Panopto workflows inside Canvas and other VLEs. Compatibility references do not imply endorsement or partnership.

Does Synlecto replace the lecture or course materials?

No. The lecture, transcript, slides and lecturer guidance remain the authority. Synlecto is revision support that helps students read, retrieve and revisit that source.

What do guide quality labels mean?

Labels such as Checked, Partial and Limited-source describe the source coverage Synlecto could use. They are not lecturer verification, and uncertain or incomplete material should be checked against the source.

Can I continue studying outside the extension?

Yes. Saved guides, recall cards, missions, quiz activity, Studio notes and later review remain available in the Synlecto web app, including the library and study-route views.

Is Synlecto suitable for university review?

University teams can review the product through the readiness route, where source boundaries, accessibility, privacy, support ownership and controlled evaluation are made visible.
