BEHIND THE SCENES | Building Our AEC-Specific Video Transcription Model
Over the last several months we've been building Version 1 of our AEC-specific video transcription model for Synthesis native videos, the first project in our Community AI program. Last week, after several rounds of internal alpha testing, we released this model to a limited number of clients as part of the Synthesis Video 2 beta.
We created this Behind the Scenes video to explain how:
Video captions + transcripts will provide accessibility, search, and ultimately LMS benefits to Synthesis users.
Knowledge Architecture’s AEC-specific video transcription model performs compared to the generic video transcription model from Microsoft. (Hint — quite well!)
Our step-by-step process for building and testing the AEC-specific video transcription model works.
We protect confidentiality and intellectual property through de-identification and data masking.
Terms and sentences we have extracted from firms participating in our Community AI program to train our model have been highly valuable.
We hope this video leaves you feeling more knowledgeable and excited about Knowledge Architecture’s approach to AI and our Community AI program.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

CONCEPT DESIGN | Synthesis LMS Version 1
For years our clients have been using Synthesis intranets to support Learning + Development programs by building “LMS light” solutions using intranet pages, posts, video libraries, and guides.
We are now advancing beyond “LMS light” solutions by adding new capabilities to Synthesis such as courses, learning paths, assignments, and transcripts, as well as the proper reporting and analytics functionality to help your firm track the progress of your learners and monitor the health of your Learning + Development programs.
This concept video is the next step in our journey toward co-creating a unique and compelling LMS offering with our community that is both AEC-specific and deeply integrated into Synthesis.
Watch this video to learn about our vision for Synthesis LMS, the scope for Synthesis LMS Version 1, release timing, and advice on what you can do now to prepare for Synthesis LMS.
