Revise a video lecture without watching it three times

A video lecture is easy to watch but hard to revise: you can’t skim a proof, highlight a definition or find the professor’s exact words the night before an exam. transcription.page puts the whole lecture in writing, split into paragraphs, with a timestamp on every passage so you can jump back to the right moment in the video.

Once the text is ready, the Use it tab does the formatting for you: a study sheet with the key concepts, definitions, examples and likely exam questions, a detailed part-by-part outline, and an eight-question quiz to check what you remember. You can also ask a precise question about the lecture, or get everything in another language if the lecture isn’t in yours.

From video to study sheet in three steps

  1. Paste the lecture link

    A YouTube video (lecture, talk, tutorial), an Instagram Reel or an educational TikTok.

  2. Read the lecture as text

    The text arrives in paragraphs, with word search and clickable timestamps.

  3. Open the Use it tab

    Pick Study sheet, Detailed outline or Quiz: the result appears in seconds, ready to copy or download.

Tools for studying

  • Study sheet

    Key concepts in bold, definitions, examples and figures with their time in the video, points to remember and possible exam questions.

  • Interactive quiz

    Eight multiple-choice questions, marked on click with an explanation and the matching moment in the video.

  • Detailed outline

    The structure of the lecture, part by part, like a course handout’s table of contents.

  • Ask anything

    “What did she say about the second law?”: the answer relies only on the lecture and cites timestamps.

Questions about studying from videos

How long can a lecture be?

Up to 1 h 30 when the video has captions (most YouTube lectures do), and up to 30 minutes when the audio has to go through speech recognition.

Can I trust the study sheet?

It is written by an AI using only what is said in the video, with timestamps on the important passages. Always check a key definition or formula by clicking its timestamp before an exam.

Is it free?

Yes. Transcription, study sheet, quiz and translation are free and need no account. Your transcripts stay in your browser’s history.

Can I print the study sheet?

Download it as Markdown (.md) or copy it into your word processor, then print it like any document.
