Turn your YouTube video notes into a quiz with AI
DeckOwl works from text, not video links, so paste the transcript or your notes from the video and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations.
Making a quiz from a YouTube video, step by step
Before you rely on any AI quiz generator from YouTube video result, remember that DeckOwl reads text, not the clip itself. Copy the transcript or type your own notes from the lecture, then paste or upload them. Questions are only as accurate as the source, so check the explanations against the parts of the video they cover.
- Paste the transcript or type notes, since video links are not read directly
- Remove intro, sponsor and off-topic sections before generating
- Check each explanation against the timestamp where the idea is covered
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Works from your notes
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files or plain text notes, or paste a transcript, and get questions written from that material.
Explanations included
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with an explanation of the correct answer.
Export when you need it
PDF and DOCX exports come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML come with Pro, so quizzes can move into your class tools.
How it works
Paste or upload
Add the transcript or your notes from the video as text, or upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX or a photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, then generate the set.
Review and study
Check each question and explanation against the video, then study in the browser or export the quiz.
Good source text makes better questions. Keep the key definitions, the worked examples the speaker goes through and any formulas, and remove filler such as sponsor segments, intros and small talk before you generate.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should I make from one video on chemical bonding?
Use enough questions to cover each bond type the lecture discusses, then add a few that ask why a bond forms, not only what it is called. Review the set and drop any question that repeats another.
How do I study chemical bonding from a video I cannot pause on?
Pause the video, write your own answer to each question, then compare it with the explanation. Redo the questions you missed until you can explain the difference between ionic and covalent bonds without looking.
Can DeckOwl read a YouTube link directly?
No. DeckOwl works from text, so copy the transcript or your own notes, then paste them or upload them as a PDF, DOCX or plain text file.
Do I need to pay to get quizzes from my notes?
No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV exports require Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports require Pro.
