You watch. You forget. You're not alone.
You've watched hours of tutorials, lectures, and how-to videos. But when someone asks what you learned last week, you draw a blank. Sound familiar?
Most people consume educational YouTube content but can't recall or apply what they watched just days later. The problem isn't your memory—it's that passive watching doesn't create lasting learning.

We instantly import the video and transcribe it behind the scenes—no need to watch everything manually.
