Why turn a video into notes and a quiz
Students who want a YouTube video to notes and quiz routine usually start by copying the transcript, since DeckOwl accepts plain text. Once the text is in, the AI pulls out the key names, dates and causes and turns them into a structured set of notes.
- Works with transcripts and typed notes as plain text
- Creates multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions
- Adds an explanation to every question
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with no credit card needed to start
Quiz questions from your text
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions built from the transcript or notes you paste in.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes an explanation, so you learn why an answer is right or wrong instead of only checking a score.
Flashcards and mind maps too
Turn the same material into spaced repetition flashcards or a mind map of the main ideas in the video.
How it works
Paste the transcript or notes
Copy the transcript from the video page or type your own notes, then paste them in as plain text.
Generate notes and a quiz
DeckOwl organizes the material and writes questions with explanations in a few seconds.
Study and review in the browser
Work through the quiz, then review missed questions until the material sticks.
A quiz right after the video works better than rereading the notes. Testing yourself on the material forces recall, and the explanations show exactly where your understanding went wrong.
