This technology allows us to provide you with a true video search capability across all the video content available within Solid Mastermind. We have named this capability Search Inside.

SmartVS is unique and based on several patented and patent pending methods and techniques. No other video search technology works like SmartVS.

To date most video search capabilities have been based upon indexing the soundtrack or subtitles of a video. This is not an appropriate method for software training and help videos as it cannot take account of the context of the dialogue. It returns many spurious results and wastes far more time than it saves.

So to deliver the best for our members we developed SmartVS to overcome these limitations and provide a truly unique on-line training and help system for Solid Edge.

Search Inside powered by SmartVS

To understand how Search Inside works we recommend that you watch our overview video Search Inside Videos Powered By SmartVS demonstrating this exciting new capability.

Then start making use of it immediately. Search Inside currently works with all video content available within Solid Mastermind except our latest ST5 update training material. This will be included soon.

We would really value your feedback on our new Search Inside facility. Please try it and let us know what you think.

You may recall that back in April last year we asked you about your thoughts regarding Solid Mastermind... and what you would like to see moving forward.

We took all your feedback on board and have invested heavily since then to develop some new groundbreaking technology exclusively for the benefit of Solid Mastermind members. It's now developed, tried and tested.

This technology is called SmartVS and will be released next week.

SmartVS is unique and will stop you from wasting and losing seconds, minutes, hours, possibly even days of your time when enhancing your knowledge and expertise in Solid Edge.

In fact this is so good we don't want to dilute the importance of this technology by mentioning any of our other plans and releases for this year in this newsletter. So we'll keep it short and sweet.

We are really excited about this and can't wait to spill the beans and give you access to SmartVS.
