From what your team already has to a reviewed course.

Start from anything you have

• Documents and decks

  PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Markdown and plain text. Word headings and PowerPoint slide structure carry through to the course.

• Video files

  Upload MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM recordings. Sonara transcribes them and teaches from what was said.

• YouTube

  Add up to five YouTube videos to a course. Sonara works from their transcripts.

• GitHub

  Add up to three public GitHub repositories. Sonara reads each repository's README and description.

• Web research

  Turn on research for a course, describe the scope and list preferred sites. Research is off unless you ask for it, and its sources are shown for review.

• Expert interview

  No manual yet? Aura interviews your expert by voice or text, and the transcript becomes the course's source.

• A topic alone

  Describe the course you want and Sonara drafts it from general knowledge, ready for your experts to correct.

• Your source library

  Reuse sources already uploaded to the workspace instead of uploading them again.

People stay in charge

• Outline review

  Experts see and edit the proposed outline before any chapter is written.

• Chapter editor

  Edit readings, checks and flashcards, rewrite a reading, or regenerate a chapter's aids.

• Practice drafted for you

  Sonara can draft a role-play or a procedure simulation from the course material, with each criterion or step quoting the source. Learners only see it after a creator confirms it.

• Approved visuals

  Generated images can require approval before learners see them. Alt text and captions are editable.

• Publishing checks

  A course can't be published while a chapter is missing its lesson or still processing.

Narrated lessons, made for you

Each chapter gets a narrated slide lesson with captions. When an approved change updates a chapter, its lesson is rendered again.
