Why study with flashcards
Active recall
Answering a question from memory sticks better than re-watching or re-reading.
Only what the video says
Cards come from the transcript, so they match the lecture you actually watched.
One idea per card
Each card tests a single definition, number, step or conclusion.
Simple format
Plain Q: and A: lines are easy to paste into any study tool.
Questions
Can I import the flashcards into Anki or Quizlet?
Yes. Copy the cards and paste them into the app's import box; each card is a question line and an answer line.
Which videos work best?
Lectures, tutorials, explainers and talks with clear speech. The video needs captions, including auto-generated ones.
How much does it cost?
Getting the transcript is free. Generating flashcards needs an account and costs 1 credit per run; new accounts get free credits to try it.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. The cards are written in the same language as the video's transcript.
