Lectures → flashcards & quizzes
Rewatching lectures is the least effective revision there is. Testing yourself on what was actually taught — generated from the transcript — is the most.
How it works
- Fetch transcripts for the lecture (or the whole playlist, in order).
- The assistant extracts testable facts, definitions, and derivations.
- It writes Q&A pairs — cloze deletions for definitions, open questions for concepts.
- Export as CSV for Anki, or keep it in chat as an interactive quiz with timestamped answers.
Grounded questions only
Flashcards invented by a model from its general knowledge test the model’s syllabus, not your course’s. Cards generated from the lecture transcript test exactly what your lecturer said — and each answer can cite the minute it was explained, so a failed card links straight to the remedial two minutes of video.

For each lecture, write 8 flashcards: 4 cloze-deletion cards for key
definitions, 4 open questions on the concepts. Include the answer and the
timestamp where it was taught. Output as CSV: front,back,source_link.curl "https://bulktranscripts.co/api/v1/playlist/videos?playlist=COURSE_PLAYLIST_ID"
curl "https://bulktranscripts.co/api/v1/transcript?video=LECTURE_VIDEO_ID"What you’ll need
An MCP-capable assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) connected to https://bulktranscripts.co/mcp — one sign-in includes 30 free credits — or a license key for the REST API. Transcripts already in your library are re-read free, so iterating on the same videos costs nothing after the first pass.
Common questions
Can I import the output into Anki?
Yes — ask for CSV with front,back columns and import it directly; the timestamped source link fits on the back of the card.
Half my course has no captions — what happens?
Videos without any caption track are reported and skipped without charge; cards are generated from the lectures that have them.
