Video to Notes: Study Notes From Any Lecture

Upload a lecture or paste a link to a course video, and BlaBlaScribe writes the transcript first, then turns it into notes: a short summary, the key points and the conclusion. From the same transcript you can make a 5 to 10 question quiz to test yourself, and the full text with timestamps stays there for the details.

Better Notes From Lecture Videos

The notes can only contain what the transcript does, and they are written once per video.

Terms

Fix subject terms before making notes

Correct names, formulas read aloud and technical terms in the transcript first, or add them to My terms; the notes repeat whatever the transcript says.

Board

Keep the slides next to the notes

What was only written on the board or a slide is not in the transcript. Use the notes for what was said and the slides for what was shown.

Length

One file per lecture

A whole semester in one upload makes vague notes. Transcribe each lecture as its own file and you get a page of notes per topic.

Access

Use videos you are allowed to keep

Course platforms behind a login cannot be fetched by link. Upload a recording your course lets you download, or one you made with permission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Video to notes: common questions.

All questions
Yes. Paste the link; the audio is fetched and transcribed, and the notes are written from the transcript. Videos behind a course login, such as on Canvas, Coursera or Udemy, cannot be fetched by link.
No. The 30 free minutes give you the full transcript, which you can read, search and export as TXT. Notes, quizzes and quotes come with the Creator plan and above.
No. You get notes, a 5 to 10 question quiz with answers, and quotable lines. The quiz is plain text, so you can paste the questions into the flashcard app you already use.
No. Only speech is transcribed, so anything that was only written or shown is missing from the notes. Keep the slides next to them.
Notes come out in the language of the lecture. On paid plans you can translate the transcript into English and read it alongside the notes, but the notes themselves stay in the original language.
Same notes underneath. This page is set up for studying: lectures and tutorials, with a quiz to test yourself. The video summarizer is aimed at meetings, webinars and long talks.
