Paste a YouTube link
Start with a lecture or resource video that already has usable caption or transcript text available.
YouTube lecture notes
YouTube lecture notes from captioned videos
Use YouTube lectures with usable captions or transcripts as study sources, then turn them into notes, maps, and review material.
Workflow
From captioned video to study structure
Check the text track
Octav uses the available captions or transcripts first and keeps the source attached to the generated notes.
Create review material
When captions are usable, Octav turns the source into Markdown notes, map structure, flashcards, and review paths.
Source handling
Transcript-first by design
Caption-backed imports
Videos without usable captions or transcripts are skipped so the import stays inside the caption-backed path.
No hidden workaround claims
The public workflow describes the same caption-first YouTube contract used by the product path.
Source trace remains visible
Generated notes and maps are grounded in the available source text so learners can check the material later.
