Why use this youtube to flashcards
A deck from a lecture
One link in, a set of cards out. No pausing the video every 30 seconds to write a card by hand.
Built from the captions
The cards come from what the speaker said, so they test the video and not the topic in general.
Export to Anki or CSV
Take the deck wherever you study. Copy it, download a CSV, or use the Anki-compatible file.
Then drill it
Sign up free to save the cards and review them on a schedule that brings each one back before you forget.
Who it's for
Students
Turn the recorded lecture you watched at 2x speed into cards you will actually remember.
Self-taught learners
Keep the useful part of a long tutorial as cards, instead of a bookmark you never open again.
Language learners
Build sentence cards from a video in your target language, with the phrase in real context.
Questions
How does it make cards from a video?
It reads the video's captions and writes question-and-answer cards from what was said. Nothing plays and you watch nothing.
Which videos work?
Any video with captions, including auto-generated ones. If a video has captions off completely, there is nothing to read.
Can I put the cards in Anki?
Yes. Export an Anki-compatible TSV or a CSV, or copy the cards as plain text. All free.
Is it free?
Yes, no account and no card. Sign up free to save the deck and review it with real spaced repetition.
