FAQPage Schema

How do I generate flashcards from a YouTube video transcript?▼

To generate flashcards from a YouTube video, provide the video URL to the agent. It uses the youtube-transcript-api dependency to fetch the transcript and automatically creates a 5-question quiz for your study session.

Can I use spaced repetition to schedule flashcard reviews locally?▼

Yes, you can use spaced repetition to schedule flashcard reviews locally. The system manages adaptive review intervals based on your performance and persists your cards in a local JSON file for long-term retention.

Do I need the youtube-transcript-api package to create text-based Q/A pairs?▼

No, you do not need the youtube-transcript-api package to create text-based Q/A pairs. That dependency is only required for automated quiz generation from YouTube video transcripts; standard text input works without it.

How do I import and export flashcard decks using CSV files?▼

You can import and export flashcard decks using CSV files to manage your collections. This flexible management feature allows you to easily transfer structured Q/A pairs in and out of the local spaced-repetition system.

What is the best way to retain information from educational videos?▼

The best way to retain information from educational videos is converting their transcripts into active recall flashcards. This system transforms YouTube video content into automated quizzes and schedules adaptive spaced-repetition reviews.

Where are spaced repetition flashcards stored when using this local system?▼

Spaced repetition flashcards are stored locally using JSON-based file persistence. This ensures your card data and adaptive review scheduling history are saved directly on your device without requiring external cloud databases.
