Provisional Patent — US 64/100,191
Video, cut to the sound of speech.
Synctia is the sync engine behind AI-generated video and audio — narration, subtitles, and music locked together to the millisecond, shipped as an API/SDK for the tools creators already use. Not by waiting for speech recognition to finish a word, but by detecting the instant it begins.
The industry syncs to the wrong moment
Every captioning and dubbing tool syncs off the same signal: the output of automatic speech recognition, which only knows a word happened after it has finished decoding it. That's late by design — the recognizer commits to a word well after the sound occurred, which is exactly what produces the faint but unmistakable drift in auto-captions and lip-synced dubs. Synctia doesn't wait for recognition to finish. It detects the consonant attack point instead — the same reference point a musician uses to lock a performance to a click track — and syncs from there.
Sync as infrastructure, not another app
Synctia ships as an API and SDK, not a destination app users have to switch into. It's built to sit inside the tools creators already have open — plugging into marketplaces like Adobe Exchange and Canva Apps so the sync engine shows up exactly where the editing already happens.
