Introducing Synthesis Dark Mode + Accessibility Checker

This onboarding video and help center article will provide you with the information you need to configure Synthesis Dark Mode, use our new Accessibility Checker, and make your intranet more accessible and inclusive to your users.

Dark Mode will be disabled for end users initially so that Global Administrators and users with Branding access will have a chance to configure logos, styles, placeholders, and custom CSS to match your company’s brand in Dark Mode. Once configuration for Dark Mode is complete, Dark Mode can be enabled for all users.

We strongly recommend taking the steps outlined in this video before enabling Dark Mode for all of your users.

Learn more about our accessibility roadmap on our website.

Full Width Search Bar? Yes, please.

Our new Full Width Search Bar brings us step closer to the Next Generation Search public beta in December.

Enjoy!

BEHIND THE SCENES | Building Our AEC-Specific Video Transcription Model

June 3, 2024 Knowledge Architecture

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.
