About this app

VidNotes turns supported video links, local files, and voice recordings into searchable text you can use. Start with video transcription and audio to text, then use the AI video summarizer to create summaries and notes for lectures, meetings, tutorials, interviews, and creator research. Find the moment you need, ask questions, and build flashcards, quizzes, and study guides from the same source.

Skip replaying a long lesson, webinar, or interview to recover one idea. Move from the original media to a timestamped record and reusable output, with each result kept beside its source.

What you can do

• Transcribe your way: Paste supported links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, or Vimeo; choose a local file from Photos or Files; or record a voice memo.
• Searchable timestamps: Switch between segments and full text, search for a phrase, and jump back to the matching moment.
• Summaries and structured notes: Generate quick or in-depth recaps, key points, and action items in outline, Cornell, or expanded formats.
• Complete study toolkit: Create flashcards from video content, multiple-choice quizzes, study guides, review questions, FAQs, glossaries, and timelines.
• Turn transcripts into content: Produce a YouTube description with chapters and hashtags, an X thread, a blog post, or a visual share card.
• Chat with your source: Ask questions using the full transcript as context and keep the conversation inside the project.
• Save what matters: Collect quotes, ideas, actions, and highlights in Moments, including suggested verbatim excerpts tied to source segments.
• Export and share: Save selected content as TXT, Markdown, or PDF; export study cards to Anki-ready CSV; or create visual cards and multi-image stories.

Transcribe video to text from links, files, and recordings

Use YouTube transcription for a lesson or tutorial, import a supported social link, select saved media, or use speech to text with the microphone. The result is organized into time-based segments and full text. Search for a name, definition, quote, or decision, then return to the matching point. Automatic language detection can follow the spoken language, while recognition and generated output can use your chosen settings. Processing time varies with source length, connection, and access.

Learn and remember more

Turn lecture notes, training, or meeting transcription into a practical learning set. Generate a quick video summary or in-depth explanation, key points, an outline, action items, and a timeline. Build study cards, a quiz, review questions, a study guide, an FAQ, or a glossary. Check important facts against the original transcript because generated output can vary.

Create content without the blank page

With Premium creator tools, repurpose the source into a YouTube description with chapters and hashtags, a connected X thread, or a blog post. Turn a quote or takeaway into a visual card, or arrange several cards as a story sequence. Keep the original material close while adapting an idea for a new audience.

Ask, save, and reuse

Chat with the source to clarify a passage or explore a topic. Save excerpts to Moments as quotes, ideas, actions, or highlights. Continue review in Anki with CSV, or keep a portable copy in TXT, Markdown, or PDF. PDF export and some creation features require Premium.

Paste a supported link, choose a file, or record audio, then turn what you watched or heard into something you can search, study, create, and share.

Access and purchases

VidNotes includes limited access with usage and feature limits. Auto-renewing subscriptions are offered through in-app purchases. Optional credit packs may be offered when enabled. Access and limits vary by plan, region, source, and configuration. Creator tools, PDF export, and some generation features may require Premium.

This app is not good, and I think it sucks because when I tried to use it. There were many complications I tried eight times and every single time it said that it wasn't available. i even restarted the app and that didn't help at all so I will be deleting this app.And I won't be using it again.
