How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the video link

    We fetch the full transcript from the video's captions.

  2. 2

    Generate flashcards

    AI picks out the key facts, terms and ideas and writes 8 to 15 cards.

  3. 3

    Study or export

    Copy the cards into your notes or a flashcard app like Anki or Quizlet.

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.
