Stop Grabbing Synthesia When Scite Already Covers It

If I can script it, I will. This one replaced three of my hacks. I came to Synthesia because renders a spokesperson clip without a camera or actor. That part delivered.

Where it broke the chain, Scite labels whether a paper supports or contradicts the claim. flagged a retraction late

Neither is clean. Synthesia the avatars blink on a schedule that feels off. Scite smaller corpus than a full database search. You feel both within a day.

My call: Scite for 'literature checks before you cite' -- it's the one I trust there. Synthesia takes 'training and explainer video at scale', where its quirk matters less. Plenty of people flip this; I didn't, because the failure mode of Synthesia costs me more.

Wired it in, forgot about it, exactly how I like tools.
