Turn a Video into Flashcard-Style Q&A
ScreenApp does not yet have a flashcard deck, a flashcard app, or spaced repetition; quiz and flashcard generation (coming soon). Until it ships, here is what it does: transcribe a video, generate a set of AI notes, and let you ask the chat to write flashcard-style question and answer pairs from that content as text, which you paste into Anki, Quizlet, or your own deck.
Upload a lecture, training video, or a video you recorded yourself, or paste a link, and the AI reads the transcript the way a study partner would, then answers questions about it or drafts flashcard pairs from it. PDFs and office documents are converted so they can be read and chatted with, the same as a recording
What you get:
- A transcript in 100+ languages for anything you record, upload, or import
- AI notes: a structured summary with the main concepts covered in the video
- AI chat with any recording: ask it to write flashcard-style question and answer pairs from the material, then paste the text into your own deck
- Exports as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Free plan: one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat on it
How to Get Flashcard Q&A from a Video
- Add your video: upload a video you already have, paste a YouTube or media link, or record one directly in the browser or on your phone.
- Get the transcript and notes: ScreenApp transcribes the video and generates a structured summary of the main concepts a few minutes after upload.
- Ask for flashcard pairs: open the chat and ask it directly, for example “write twenty flashcard-style question and answer pairs from this video.” Copy the text into Anki, Quizlet, or a plain document. A dedicated quiz and flashcard generation (coming soon) will cover this step directly once it ships.
Flashcard quality follows audio quality. A clear recording with one speaker at a time and explicit facts or definitions gives the chat more to work with than a noisy recording with cross-talk. See how we measure accuracy.

- vs RemNote: RemNote builds AI-generated flashcards with spaced repetition directly from your notes, at $8 a month annual for the paid plan. ScreenApp does not have a flashcard deck; it transcribes the video and its chat will write question and answer pairs as text if you ask, but you paste them into a deck yourself.
- vs Quizlet: Quizlet’s Flashcards mode is built for reviewing a set you already made. ScreenApp does not offer that review experience: its job is transcribing and summarizing the video itself, with a chat that can draft the raw pairs for a deck like Quizlet’s.
- vs NoteGPT: NoteGPT’s study guide maker does not include flashcards either; not built into the study guide maker; a separate AI Flashcard Maker tool is suggested instead. ScreenApp’s difference is that it transcribes the video directly, rather than starting from text you paste in.
Who Uses This for Flashcards
Students preparing for exams upload a recorded lecture, read the AI notes, then ask the chat for flashcard-style question and answer pairs to paste into the deck they already study from.
Students who already use Anki or Quizlet treat ScreenApp as the step before their deck: transcribe the video, get the notes, then ask the chat to draft the pairs so they are not writing every card by hand.
Teachers record their own class, get the AI notes, and share the transcript with students who want to build their own flashcards from it.
Corporate trainers upload a training video and ask the chat for question and answer pairs that check what employees remember from the session.
Course creators upload a video lesson, get the transcript and notes, then ask for flashcard-style pairs to hand students alongside the lesson.
Language learners upload a video in the language they are studying and ask the chat to turn vocabulary or grammar points into question and answer pairs.
