  Study Companion by Synlecto for Panopto videos helps learners turn lecture videos into active revision.
  
  Synlecto opens as a browser extension beside supported lecture and video pages, such as Panopto! Then creates a source-linked study route from the current transcript or captions after the learner chooses Create study route. Start with Essentials, then move into Flashcards and Missions for active recall.
  
  Built for lecture-based study support
  
  ‣ Study alongside the video instead of switching tabs.
  ‣ Create Essentials, Flashcards, and Missions from supported lecture pages.
  ‣ Keep source support and timestamps visible where the lecture provides them.
  ‣ Jump from a study point back to the source moment when replay is available.
  ‣ Sync generated guides to the Synlecto Dashboard for later revision.
  ‣ Use accessibility and comfort controls, including text size, spacing, reduced motion, panel width, and theme presets.
  
  Key features
  
  ‣ Create Essentials: key ideas, definitions, and a concise first-pass recap.
  ‣ Create Flashcards and Missions for active recall and practice.
  ‣ Works on supported lecture and video pages where usable captions, transcripts, or supported media context are available.

  How it works

  3. Choose Create study route.

  Privacy note
  
  ‣ Nothing is sent until you choose Create study route.
  ‣ The extension sends transcript or caption text, the video title, and the source URL to Synlecto servers only to create and sync your study materials.
  ‣ Extension data is used only to provide or improve the Study Companion features you request.
  ‣ Synlecto does not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use your content to train models.
  ‣ Synlecto may store generated guides, study state, metadata, and short source/evidence excerpts or anchors needed for guide continuity, quality, and source-linked review. Full raw transcripts are not used as normal synced study state.
  ‣ Synlecto shares data only with service providers needed to provide the product, such as hosting, authentication, payment, AI-processing, and error-monitoring providers, under appropriate safeguards.
  ‣ Manage or delete your data in Synlecto settings. See the privacy policy for collection, handling, storage, sharing, retention, and user-control details.
  
  Academic boundary
  
  ‣ Study support, not assignment bypass.
  ‣ Verify critical facts against your course materials.
  ‣ Follow your institution's academic-integrity rules.
