How it works

Three steps. No complicated setup. Your revision starts inside your lecture.

Step 1

Open your lecture and launch the extension

Open your lecture in your VLE and use the Study Companion extension to generate your guide while you watch.

Step 2

Get your guide, flashcards, and missions

Everything syncs to your Synlecto dashboard so you can study on your phone, laptop, or tablet anytime.

Step 3

Review on autopilot

Synlecto schedules reviews and brings back what you're about to forget, so revision stays steady without planning.

Eat the frog focus

Start with the bit you are avoiding.

Synlecto surfaces your weakest topics first, then uses short missions to push you through. You finish a session feeling lighter, not guilty.

One connected workflow for every session

No more tab-switching. Synlecto gives you focus, audio, pinning, and recall practice in one place.

Read with focus

Calmer typography, bionic text, and line focus reduce scanning fatigue.

Listen while moving

Play audio recaps of key lecture anchors while walking between classes.

Pin what matters

Tag key, exam, and clarity moments directly in the transcript. Jump back instantly.

Prove and retain

Short missions and spaced flashcards push you into retrieval practice that sticks.

You are not behind. You are stuck in passive revision.

Rereading feels productive because it is familiar. But the exam asks for retrieval. Synlecto shifts you into practice that builds real confidence.

Before vs afterTypical week
Before
  • Rewatching the same lecture
  • Notes you never test
  • Cramming close to the deadline
After
  • A guide you revise from
  • Daily recall practice
  • Spaced reviews that stick
No fluffYou still do the work

Synlecto doesn't study for you. It cuts the waste: rewatching for comfort, rewriting notes, and spending half your session deciding what to do next.

From anxiety to steady progress

The best feedback we get is not that people studied more. It is that they felt calmer.

It stopped me from mindlessly rewatching. The missions are short, but they make me think, which is the point.

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

FAQ

The things students ask before they try it.

Is it free?

Yes — the free plan lets you generate guides and use flashcards and missions with no credit card required. Paid plans are optional and unlock unlimited guides, the full spaced-repetition schedule, and priority processing.

Does it work in my VLE?

Yes. Use the Study Companion extension on your VLE lecture page (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace). When a transcript is available, Synlecto uses it. If a platform blocks access, we guide you to alternatives.

Do I need the browser extension?

The extension is the fastest way to generate a guide directly from your lecture page. But you can also paste a transcript or upload content on the Synlecto dashboard without the extension.

Is it just AI summaries?

No. The guide is only the start. The missions and flashcards push you into retrieval practice, then the schedule brings back what you are about to forget.

What about privacy?

Synlecto keeps data minimal and puts you in control. You can delete guides, clear local data, or delete your account at any time.

Can I use it for any subject?

Yes. The structure works across essay subjects, STEM, and anything in between. You will get better results when the source material has a clean transcript.
