How a quiz maker for YouTube videos works

Most YouTube lectures are easy to watch and hard to recall a week later. A quiz maker for YouTube videos closes that gap by turning the material into questions you answer yourself. DeckOwl does not open video links directly, so copy the transcript from the video's caption panel or type out your notes, then paste them in as plain text.

Generate the full set

Works from your notes

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. A copied video transcript pastes in as plain text.

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of why the correct answer is right.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Paste or upload

Add a transcript, a PDF, slides or a photo of your notes.

Pick question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate your quiz.

Review and study

Check the explanations, then practice in the browser or export to Anki or your LMS.

Screenshots of slides or a photo of handwritten notes also work, since images are read with text recognition. If the lecture came with slides, upload the PDF or PPTX instead. The output is a set of multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, so a wrong answer teaches you something rather than just marking you down.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month, which is enough to test the workflow on a short video. Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month gives unlimited generations for longer lectures and course units.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on one lecture include?

Ten to fifteen questions usually cover one lecture well enough to test recall. Shorter videos need fewer, and a full unit may need several quizzes split by topic.

How should I study the French Revolution from a video?

Pause at each new event and write its cause and outcome from memory, then check against the video. Quiz yourself on dates and causes a day or two later so the recall sticks.

Can I export a quiz to Moodle or Anki?

Anki export is included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan gives 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
