YouTube to Flashcards

Turn lecture videos into flashcards

Paste a YouTube lecture, pull the transcript, and generate flashcards from the explanations, definitions, and examples inside the video.

Step 1

Paste a lecture URL

Bring in an educational YouTube video.

Step 2

Load the transcript

Deckio extracts the transcript and turns it into study material.

Step 3

Generate your deck

Review key points without rewatching the full video.

Sample YouTube lecture input

Machine learning lecture on gradient descent, loss minimization, learning rate, convergence, and local minima.

Watching a full lecture again is slow when you only need a review deck. Deckio extracts the testable material and turns it into cards.

Front

What does gradient descent do?

Back

It iteratively updates parameters to reduce the loss function.

Front

Why does learning rate matter?

Back

It controls step size; too large can overshoot, too small can slow convergence.

Front

What is a local minimum?

Back

A point where the loss is lower than nearby points but not necessarily globally lowest.
