FAQ

How does it decide which words to extract?

The AI analyzes the transcript and picks words that are most useful for the difficulty level you chose. It skips very common words (like "the" or "is") and focuses on vocabulary that a learner at your level would benefit from knowing. Each word comes with the actual sentence from the video where it was used.

Can I export these to Anki?

Yes. The "Copy for Anki" button formats the vocabulary as tab-separated values (word, definition, example) that you can paste directly into Anki's import feature. Each word becomes a flashcard automatically.

What does the difficulty level setting do?

Beginner focuses on common but useful words (A1-A2 level). Intermediate targets words that a mid-level learner should know (B1-B2). Advanced extracts sophisticated and technical vocabulary (C1-C2). "All Levels" gives you a mix across all difficulty levels.

Does it work for languages other than English?

It works with any language that YouTube can transcribe. The AI will extract vocabulary from whatever language the video is in. It works best with English, Spanish, French, German, and other widely-spoken languages.

Is it really free?

100% free, no signup required. You get 10 free uses per day. Built for language learners who want to turn the videos they already watch into study material.
