How do AI flashcards from YouTube work?
YouTube Translate generates flashcards from the video's transcript using Google Gemini. The AI identifies the most quizzable facts, definitions, and concepts and turns each one into a front/back card with a verbatim source quote — so you can verify the card against the actual video at any time.
How many flashcards can I generate from one video?
Pick from 5 (quick), 10 (standard), 15 (deep), or 20 (max) cards. The AI scales coverage to fit your target — a 60-minute lecture easily produces 20 substantive cards.
Are YouTube flashcards good for language learning?
Yes — cards can be generated in any of 134+ languages, with the front in your study language and the back in your native one. Combine native-speaker videos with the flashcard review for vocabulary that sticks because you saw it in real context.
Can I review only the cards I got wrong?
Yes. After a full deck pass, the app offers a wrong-only review mode so you drill the cards you missed without re-doing the ones you already know. There's also a streak counter to keep daily review consistent.
Is the YouTube flashcards feature free?
Yes, free users get daily flashcard generation credits. Premium removes the cap and unlocks unlimited regenerations and decks.
