Time-Saving Tips

Use URL Uploads for Videos

Instead of downloading videos first, paste the URL directly. Syncpoly will handle the download and processing automatically.

Batch Upload Multiple Files

Upload multiple files at once. You can track all uploads simultaneously using the header indicator.

Use Search to Find Content

Don't scroll through long transcripts. Use the search function to jump directly to relevant sections.

Generate Breakdowns for Quick Overviews

For long transcripts, generate a breakdown first to get a quick overview before diving into details.

AI Chat Tips

Be Specific in Your Questions

The more specific your question, the better the AI's response. Instead of "tell me about this," try "what were the main points about [specific topic]?"

Use Follow-up Questions

The AI maintains context throughout your conversation. Build on previous answers with follow-up questions for deeper insights.

Ask for Summaries

Use AI chat to quickly summarize long transcripts or specific sections without reading everything.

Organization Tips

Use Descriptive Filenames

When uploading, use clear, descriptive filenames. This makes it easier to find transcripts later.

Download Important Transcripts

For transcripts you need long-term, download them in your preferred format. This ensures you have backups.

Regular Cleanup

Periodically review and delete old or unnecessary transcripts to free up storage space.

Advanced Techniques

Combine Features for Maximum Value

Use breakdowns to get overviews, then use AI chat for specific questions, and generate quizzes for review. Combine features for comprehensive content analysis.

Extract Action Items

Use AI chat to extract action items from meeting transcripts. Ask "What action items were mentioned?" to get a quick list.

Create Study Materials

For educational content, generate questions and quizzes to create study materials. Download transcripts for offline review.
