Synoptica is a browser extension built for academic institutions, e-learning platform managers, instructional designers, researchers, teachers, students and anyone who wants deep content curation without wasting time. Synoptica connects seamlessly to leading AI language models through your own API keys, providing a single unified interface with built-in model failover. 🚀 From Fake News Detector to Synoptica Synoptica v0.3 is a ground-up rebuild. Formerly known as Fake News Detector, the extension has outgrown its original name. While keeping its core focus on combating misinformation, Synoptica has grown into a versatile Content Intelligence & EdTech toolkit, adding deep research shortcuts, multi-provider AI routing and live educational content generation (SCORM). 🔮 Key Features 1. Cross-Language Analysis: Navigate to any article, even in a language you don't speak. Synoptica extracts, analyzes and fact-checks the content, then delivers the results in your browser's language. 2. One-Click PowerPoint Export: Convert web content into a structured PowerPoint (PPTX) deck mapping out the article's core topic and takeaways, ready for direct download. Also supports Word (DOCX), OpenDocument (ODT), Plain Text (TXT) and Print to PDF. 3. TestGen (LMS-Ready SCORM Quiz Builder): Generate a multiple-choice quiz from any article. ✓ Instant Export: Package your quiz into a standard SCORM 1.2 ZIP file. ✓ LMS Integration: Upload the package into Moodle or any SCORM 1.2-compliant LMS to enable automatic attempt tracking and scoring. ✓ Gradebook Sync: Reports score and completion status back to the LMS based on a passing threshold you configure (actual gradebook behavior depends on your LMS/course settings). 4. Multi-Provider Router with Failover: Connect your preferred API keys. If your selected provider is temporarily unavailable or rate-limited, Synoptica automatically tries the next one you've configured. 5. Image Verify (Reverse Image Search): Scans images in the article and gives you one-click reverse-search links to help spot recycled or out-of-context photos. 6. More Context (Deep Dive Search): Five targeted search shortcuts built from the article's core topic: Related Coverage, Background, Different Perspectives, Recent Developments and Fact Check. 7. Read Aloud: Listen to articles via natural-sounding text-to-speech, with automatic preference for higher-quality available voices. 🎨 User Experience 1. Smart State Retention: Close the popup or switch tabs freely. Synoptica keeps your analysis for the active page, so you don't lose progress or waste API calls re-analyzing the same content. 2. Light & Dark Themes: A one-click toggle to switch the interface theme, with your preference remembered across sessions. 3. Direct Connectivity & Local Storage: Your API keys are fully masked in the interface and stored exclusively within your browser's secure local storage. Synoptica does not run intermediate proxy servers—requests are sent directly from your browser to the official endpoints of the AI provider you select. Data privacy during analysis is subject to the terms of your chosen AI provider. 🛠️ How It Works A.
