From the makers of Camtasia and Snagit, TechSmith Knowmia (formerly TechSmith Relay) is an asynchronous video learning platform that helps colleges maximize video effectiveness for online and blended courses. Ease of use means faculty get up and running quickly regardless of their technical skill level.
Increase student engagement with in-video quizzes and conversations that modernize discussions. Students and instructors can add time-linked comments or questions on the video timeline that drive active online class communities.
Meet accessibility guidelines with highly-accurate speech-to-text transcriptions to create ADA compliant captions, audio description support, and a video player that is WCAG AA compliant. Track what videos are captioned or not with the accessibility dashboard.
Plus, you can create and share seamlessly within learning management systems. Students can watch anytime, on any smart device from a secure and accessible video platform.
See why Frost & Sullivan named TechSmith the global leader in lecture capture solutions two years running, and why more colleges use TechSmith products for video management than anyone else according to the Campus Computing Project.

Easy to use and don't need another tutorial to create an online tutorial yourself.
What do you like best?
Glad that it's a lightweight web app with an interface that is very simple and easy to follow. One can easily get familiar with all the tools in Knowmia and be able to quickly create and view the output. There are options to increase engagement with in-video quizzes and discussions linked to the timeline. I have not personally implemented this as we do not require this feature as of now but its good to know that its available when neeeded.
What do you dislike?
I have just recently switched to Knowmia and did not come across any issues in particular while using it. If possible I would appreciate if there was an option to preview/Download the captured video locally first before uploading to Knowmia servers. I was unable to find that option. Also this could be because of my internet connection issue but for some reason the time to load a preview was a little bit high.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I am using Knowmia to address the very common FAQs related to using our web solution as well as using it to create welcome videos.
