Four ways researchers use VideoNoteGPT

From conference recordings to literature review — built for how academics actually work.

🎙️

Transcribe conference talks you couldn't attend

Paste a YouTube URL of any recorded talk — ICML, NeurIPS, ACL, or any academic channel — and get a full transcript with key findings extracted. Stay current without watching hours of video.

🗂️

Build a searchable knowledge base from seminars

Export to Markdown and drop into Obsidian, Roam, or Notion. Every talk becomes a node in your PKM — with chapters, key points, and timestamps already structured for you.

📼

Capture your own lab talks and group meetings

Record your lab meeting or research presentation, upload it, and get a transcript and structured notes automatically. Share with collaborators or keep as a permanent record of your group's work.

🌐

Process non-English research content

Transcribe talks in French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and 100+ languages. The full notes can also be translated — useful for international collaboration or reviewing foreign-language content in your field.

From talk to Obsidian note in 5 minutes

A typical researcher workflow using VideoNoteGPT + Obsidian (works the same with Notion or Roam).

1
Paste YouTube URL of a conference talk
e.g. "Attention Is All You Need" — Vaswani et al., NeurIPS talk recording
2
AI transcribes and structures in ~3 minutes
Chapters: Background → Problem statement → Architecture → Experiments → Results → Q&A. Key findings extracted automatically.
3
Export to Markdown
Download the .md file — already formatted with # headings, bullet points, and timestamps.
4
Drop into Obsidian vault
Link to related papers, tag with [[transformer]], [[attention]], [[NLP]] — and your knowledge graph grows automatically.

Built for precision and depth

💬

Full timestamped transcript

Every word, searchable. Find the exact moment a key idea was mentioned — no scrubbing through video.

📖

Chapter & topic breakdown

Talks automatically segmented into logical sections with descriptive headings — even without chapter markers in the video.

🔑

Key findings extraction

The most important claims, results, and contributions surfaced automatically. Ideal for literature review and rapid triage.

📝

Markdown export (PKM-ready)

Clean Markdown with headings, timestamps, and bullet structure. Drops straight into Obsidian, Notion, Roam, or Logseq.

🤖

Ask anything about the talk

"What method did they use for evaluation?" — chat with your transcript. AI answers from the actual content.

🎓

Domain-specific vocabulary

Set the field (CS/AI, biology, medicine, economics) to maximize accuracy on technical terms, acronyms, and proper nouns.

Questions from researchers

Can it handle highly technical research content?

Yes. Built on OpenAI Whisper, it handles complex scientific vocabulary across CS, biology, medicine, physics, economics, and more. Select your subject domain to further improve accuracy on field-specific terminology.

Can I transcribe full conference talk recordings?

Yes. Upload any MP4/audio recording or paste a YouTube URL of a conference talk. Pro accounts support talks up to 3 hours. Free accounts support up to 45 minutes.

Does it export to Obsidian or Notion?

Yes. The Markdown export is fully compatible with Obsidian (drag into vault), Notion (import .md or paste), Roam Research, and Logseq. Headings, bullets, and timestamps are all preserved.

Can I process talks in languages other than English?

Yes. Whisper auto-detects 100+ languages. The AI summarizes in English by default, but you can translate the full notes to your preferred language with one click.

What's the credit cost for a 90-minute seminar?

A 90-minute seminar costs 3 credits. Free accounts get 3 credits/day and support up to 45 minutes per lecture. Pro accounts ($9.99/month) get 180 credits/month and support talks up to 3 hours.

Is my research data kept private?

Yes. All files are processed privately and deleted from our servers within 24 hours. We never use your content to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy.
