Turn a YouTube video into Anki cards.
Paste the link into Clozely. It reads the video and writes a study doc where every line cites the second it was said. Click a sentence and the video plays at that moment. Then highlight the doc into cloze cards, the same way you would a PDF.
Windows & macOS · Free · Works with Anki
Notes with the video attached.
A YouTube video becomes a readable study doc. Every block carries a timestamp chip. Click it and the video plays at that second, inside Clozely. The doc is yours to edit. Fix a phrase, cut a section, add your own lines.
Highlight the doc into cards
Highlight a sentence, pick the blank, and the cloze card is made. The card keeps its timestamp, in Clozely and on the Anki card itself.
Cards jump back to the video
Click a card and the video plays from the moment it came from, so you can hear that part again.
AI can draft the cards
Ask Clozely to draft cards from the doc. Each draft cites the line it came from. You accept or throw out each one before it goes to Anki.
Nothing to upload
The video is already on YouTube. Paste the link, and about a minute later the study doc is there.
Make Anki cards from any YouTube video.
Convert a YouTube video to Anki flashcards without typing the cards out yourself. Clozely turns the video into a study doc with timestamped citations. Highlight what you want as cloze cards, or have AI draft them, then send the deck to Anki. Have the video as a file instead? See video to Anki.
Questions, answered
Does Clozely download the video?
No. The video stays on YouTube and plays there, inside Clozely. Nothing is downloaded.
Which YouTube videos work?
Any YouTube video Clozely can read, one at a time. If it can't read one yet, it tells you and nothing is used up. Other video sites aren't supported yet.
Does this need a subscription?
Yes. Study docs from video are part of Clozely AI Pro ($19.99/mo, or $199/yr). A one-time lecture pack works too. Every new account gets one video free to try it. Details on pricing.
Does it work on my phone?
Not yet. Desktop only for now, Windows and macOS.
How is this different from a video summarizer?
A summary is something you read once. Clozely's study doc is the midpoint. The end product is cards in Anki, and every card traces back to the second in the video it came from.
Paste a link. Leave with a deck.
