For tutorials & how-tos

Stop scrubbing tutorials. Get the steps in writing.

You know the loop: play, pause, squint at the terminal, type, rewind because you missed a flag. A tutorial video holds the answer, but it makes you work frame by frame to get it out.

SightScript turns the video into a written guide you can follow without watching: numbered steps in order, each with its timestamp and the exact command, code, setting, or amount that was on screen — verbatim, not paraphrased.

Free to try — no account, no card.

One tutorial in. A guide you can follow out.

How-to guide

A complete written guide: what you'll achieve, prerequisites, numbered steps with every command in code blocks, common pitfalls, and a final "how to know it worked" check.

Steps

Every action as a numbered, timestamped step, carrying the full command, code, values, or amounts from the screen.

Visual notes

Everything typed or shown but never spoken: complete commands, config file contents, settings values, URLs, menu paths.

Key points

The prerequisites — tools, versions, materials, amounts — with the exact names shown on screen.

Chapters

The phases of the tutorial, timestamped, so you can jump to the part you're stuck on.

Transcript

Everything said, timestamped — for the context around a step.

The command was typed, not spoken

Tutorial makers say "just run this" and type. Transcripts keep the "just run this". SightScript keeps the command.

Terminal commands, verbatim

Every flag and argument, exactly as typed — the difference between a guide that works and one that almost does.

Settings and menu paths

Which toggle, in which menu, set to what value — captured from the screen recording, not guessed.

Amounts and measurements

Cooking and DIY tutorials keep their quantities: what's shown on screen ends up in the ingredient list.

How it works

0:00

Paste the tutorial link

Software walkthrough, recipe, repair video — anything with steps.

0:05

It watches every action

What was done, what was typed, what it should look like after.

~2:00

Follow the written guide

Work through numbered steps at your own pace; jump back via timestamps only if you need to.

Questions, answered

Does it capture the exact commands?

Yes — verbatim. Each step carries the full command, code, or values as they appeared on screen, and the guide puts them in proper code blocks.

What kinds of tutorials does it work on?

Anything with steps: software and coding walkthroughs, app settings, cooking, DIY and repair. If actions happen on screen in order, they become a numbered guide.

Can I still jump back to the video?

Every step and chapter is timestamped, so when a written step isn't enough you know exactly which second of the video to check.

Is it free?

Yes to start: 3 videos per hour up to 20 minutes without an account, 10 per month up to 45 minutes with a free account. Pro ($9.99/month) raises the caps to 100 videos and 90 minutes.
