NoteAlong
AI Note Taker for YouTube, Lectures & Online Courses
NoteAlong is a web app that generates study notes from lectures, YouTube videos, online courses, live webinars, in-room lectures, and audio/video files. It works by listening to audio from a shared browser tab, a YouTube link, a microphone, or an uploaded file, transcribing it in real time, and producing a structured note with sections, timestamps, and (when sharing a tab) slides placed next to the relevant text. Notes can be searched, asked questions, and exported to Anki, Obsidian, Markdown, Notion (Pro), or PDF (Pro). The app does not store audio after transcription and does not train AI models on user content.
