Frequently Asked Questions about memento-flashcards

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create flashcards from a YouTube video transcript?

To create flashcards from a YouTube video, provide the video URL to the agent. It uses the youtube-transcript-api to fetch the transcript and automatically generates interactive Q/A quizzes to test your understanding.

How does spaced repetition scheduling work for flashcards?

Spaced repetition scheduling automatically adjusts review intervals based on your quiz performance. This adaptive approach optimizes long-term memory retention by presenting cards at calculated optimal times.

Can I generate a quiz from plain text instead of a video?

Yes, you can generate quizzes from plain text. The system supports creating Q/A pairs directly from text inputs, allowing you to turn complex technical documentation into reviewable flashcards.

Do I need Python 3 to run the spaced repetition flashcard system?

Yes, a standard Python 3 environment is required to run the local file-based flashcard system. Optional integration with the youtube-transcript-api library requires setting up that dependency separately.

What is the best way to integrate automated flashcards into a daily workflow?

The best way to integrate automated flashcards is to ask the agent to create cards from text or YouTube URLs, then let the adaptive review scheduler prompt you. This structured system fits directly into daily learning workflows.

Are there limitations when generating quizzes from YouTube transcripts?

Quiz generation from YouTube transcripts relies on the youtube-transcript-api. If a video lacks subtitles or transcripts, the dependency cannot fetch the needed text, preventing automated flashcard creation for that specific content.
