We’re excited to announce that two new features are coming to Synthesis at the end of the day on Friday, January 9th: Voice Search and Continue Watching.

Below is a quick overview of what’s coming.

Voice Search

Voice Search lets you interact with your firm’s knowledge in a natural, conversational way.

You can use Voice Search for:

Simple keyword searches
Longer, more conversational questions
Exploratory or multi-part queries where you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for yet

Voice Search works on both web and mobile and it supports follow-up questions so you can refine your search as you go.

Watch a short demo here.

Pro Tip: When you’re finished speaking, you can press Enter / Return on your keyboard to submit the search immediately.

Continue Watching

We’ve also added Continue Watching for videos across the platform.

Since September 23, 2023, Synthesis has been tracking video progress behind the scenes. With this update, that progress becomes visible and actionable.

What this means for you:

Videos now remember where you left off
A progress bar appears on videos you’ve started watching
You can easily resume unfinished videos or see which ones you’ve completed

This applies to all videos in Synthesis, and it’s especially useful as firms continue to use video more heavily for training, onboarding, and learning programs.
