Turn a lecture video into flashcards

Watching a lecture or explainer is passive — you forget most of it. Grab the video's transcript, paste it into Cram, and its AI turns the key points into flashcards you'll actually remember.

How it works

1

Copy the transcript

On YouTube, open the description and tap “Show transcript,” then copy the text. Or paste your own notes from the video.

2

AI builds the deck

Add the transcript to Cram and its AI writes clear question-and-answer flashcards from the key points.

3

Review until it sticks

Study your new deck with spaced repetition that schedules each card right before you'd forget it.

Turn passive watching into recall

A video you watched once fades fast. Flashcards turn it into something you can actively test yourself on.

Keep the key points

Cram pulls the facts and concepts out of a long transcript so you're not re-scrubbing the video.

No account, offline

No sign-up, and your deck lives on your device for review anytime.

Video is a great way to first encounter an idea and a poor way to retain it. Cram bridges the gap: paste a lecture's transcript and it converts the material into active-recall flashcards, then spaces your reviews so the content sticks long after the video ends. It works the same way with web articles and any link you paste. See everything Cram can turn into a deck, or compare it with Quizlet, Knowt, and Anki.
