Learning from lecture videos and recordings
Stop rewatching. Turn a YouTube lecture, tutorial or your own class recording into notes and review material.
Who this workflow is for
Anyone who learns from video: students with recorded lectures, self-learners following YouTube courses and tutorials, and professionals catching up on talks. Video is linear and long; the goal of this workflow is to get the content into a form you can skim, review and test yourself on.
The workflow, step by step
- Paste the link or upload the recording. Paste a YouTube link, or upload an audio or video recording of a class, talk or meeting.
- Get the notes. Pick Summary for a clean set of notes with the main arguments, definitions and takeaways.
- Turn key terms into flashcards. Pick Flashcards to drill the terms and facts from the video without scrubbing the timeline.
- Check yourself with a quiz. Pick Quiz to confirm you understood the lecture, not just watched it.
- Relisten as a podcast. Optionally pick Podcast for a spoken recap you can play hands-free.
Tip: if the video is in a language that isn't your first, generate the notes in your own language — see the study in any language workflow.
Which Axo outputs to use
- Summary — notes you can reread instead of rewatching.
- Flashcards and Quiz — turn watching into active recall.
- Podcast — review the lecture away from the screen.
