Lecture videos into study notes — formulas included
The hardest part of a recorded lecture isn't the listening — it's the board. Formulas, diagrams, worked examples: the professor writes them, talks over them, and the recording's transcript keeps none of it. SightScript reads the board.
Paste the lecture link and get structured study notes where every formula appears in proper notation, every diagram is described with its relationships, and every definition is collected for review.
Free to try — no account, no card.
One lecture in. Exam-ready notes out.
Study notes
1,500–3,000 words organized by topic, with all formulas, code, and diagrams included — plus a Key Formulas section collecting every formula in one place.
Key concepts
Flashcard-quality term/definition pairs for every important concept and formula in the lecture.
Visual notes
Everything from the whiteboard and slides — handwritten formulas, diagrams, charts, code — written down.
Chapters
A timestamped map of the lecture, so you can jump back to the exact minute a topic was covered.
Transcript
Every word, timestamped — searchable when you need what the professor actually said.
Summary & key points
The lecture in three paragraphs plus 7–10 key concepts, for a fast pre-exam refresh.
It reads the whiteboard
Lecture capture systems record the board; they don't read it. SightScript does.
Formulas in proper notation
Handwritten or projected, formulas are transcribed as formulas — not skipped because nobody read them aloud symbol by symbol.
Diagrams, explained
Graphs and diagrams are described with their axes, labels, and relationships, so the notes stand on their own.
Code from the projector
Programming lectures keep their code: whatever was on screen ends up in code blocks in your notes.
How it works
Paste the lecture link
Any YouTube lecture — your university's recordings or the MIT course you're following.
It watches board and voice
The explanation and the derivation, together.
Study from the notes
Review by topic, drill the key-concepts list, export to PDF for the train.
Questions, answered
Does it read handwriting on the whiteboard?
Yes. Formulas, definitions, and worked examples written by hand on a board or tablet are captured and transcribed into the notes in proper notation.
How long can a lecture be?
45 minutes with a free account — enough for most single lectures. Pro ($9.99/month) covers up to 90 minutes for long-form courses, and can combine up to 5 videos when a topic spans several recordings.
Can I make flashcards from it?
The Key Concepts tab is built for exactly that: each entry is a term or formula with its definition, ready to paste into Anki or Quizlet.
Is it accurate enough to study from?
The notes are grounded in what was actually said and shown — nothing is pulled from outside the video. As with any generated notes, skim them against the chapters once before trusting them for an exam.
