A conference, a tutorial, a replay of a webinar. Three ideas really interest you for your course, but they are drowned somewhere in the middle. And you will not revise everything to find them.<\/p>\n<p>It's probably already happened to you. Before, you had to juggle the progress bar, note the minutes by hand, go back and forth. Poor.<\/p>\n<p>In short, in recent years the landscape has changed. In addition to the classic extensions that time your notes during viewing, a new family of tools has arrived: those who automatically transcribe the video and give you a summary. No need to look at everything to find out what's in it.<\/p>\n<p>I've sorted. Here's what's still working, what's gone, and the AI tools that are worth a look.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a5a03ba96f86\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a5a03ba96f86\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#Prendre_des_notes_horodatees_les_extensions_qui_tiennent_toujours\" >Take time-stamped notes: extensions that still hold<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#YiNote\" >YiNote<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#ReClipped\" >ReClipped<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#Transcrire_et_resumer_automatiquement_la_nouvelle_generation\" >Automatically transcribe and summarise: the New Generation<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#Tactiq\" >Tactiq<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#Les_outils_tout-en-un\" >All-in-one tools<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#Tableau_comparatif\" >Comparative table<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/en\/2021\/11\/comment-prendre-des-notes-sur-une-video-youtube\/#Alors_lequel_choisir\" >So which one to choose?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prendre_des_notes_horodatees_les_extensions_qui_tiennent_toujours\"><\/span>Take time-stamped notes: extensions that still hold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The principle is simple.

It supports YouTube, but also Vimeo and embedded videos on other sites. Each note is time stamped. Exports are in PDF, Markdown or Evernote. No AI, no automatic summary: it is a notebook, nothing more. And for many classroom uses, that is exactly what it takes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I like:<\/strong> free, simple, without overlay. Exporting Markdown is handy if you store your notes in tools like Notion or Obsidian.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I like less:<\/strong> no AI function, and the ecosystem remains smaller than that of big competitors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ReClipped\"><\/span>ReClipped<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16481\" src=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.17.19@2x-1024x589.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube note-taking\" width=\"720\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.17.19@2x-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.17.19@2x-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.17.19@2x-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.17.19@2x-1536x883.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.17.19@2x-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.17.19@2x.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More complete, but more demanding. <a href=\"https:\/\/reclipped.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ReClipped<\/a> works beyond YouTube, on Coursera, Udemy or LinkedIn Learning. You can capture time-stamped notes, screenshots and even short video clips. The notes are organised on private or shared boards, which can be used for a class. Export to PDF, Markdown, Notion, Readwise or Evernote.<\/p>\n<p>An honest warning anyway. Several users have been reporting problems connecting to the extension for months. To be tested on a simple case before investing too much time in it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I like:<\/strong> the richness of the tool, between text, captures and extracts. And sharing boards to work with others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I like less:<\/strong> no dedicated mobile app, some key functions depend on the extension or a paid plan. And those connection bugs hanging around.<\/p>\n<p>A quick word on the other tools in the old version of this article. <a href=\"https:\/\/beastnotes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BeastNotes<\/a> still exists, as a Chrome extension backed by a site, but remains a notch below the previous two. Sidenote, BookmarkIt and RocketNote have disappeared or are no longer reliably maintained. There is no need to dwell on this.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transcrire_et_resumer_automatiquement_la_nouvelle_generation\"><\/span>Automatically transcribe and summarise: the New Generation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now we're changing the logic. You no longer take notes during viewing. The tool transcribes the entire video, and often offers you a summary. Convenient when you just want to know if a video is worth it, or retrieve text from a conference to rework it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tactiq\"><\/span>Tactiq<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16482\" src=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.29.28@2x-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"video transcript\" width=\"720\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.29.28@2x-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.29.28@2x-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.29.28@2x-768x477.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.29.28@2x-1536x954.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.29.28@2x-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CleanShot-2026-06-21-at-11.29.28@2x.jpg 1894w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tactiq.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tactiq<\/a> offers a free YouTube transcription generator. You paste the URL, you retrieve the text, without even entering your email. Originally, it was mainly a tool for transcribing meetings on Google Meet, Zoom or Teams, but its YouTube function was a good example.<\/p>\n<p>Let's be precise about the limits. The free YouTube generator currently only transcribes in English, and one video at a time. The free plan gives 10 transcripts per month and some AI credits for abstracts. Beyond that, the Pro plan starts around 8 $ per user and per month in annual billing. For French, the free tool on the YouTube side quickly shows its limits. VideoMark<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/videomark.app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VideoMark<\/a> is a simple Chrome extension for taking notes on YouTube, Coursera and Udemy, which incorporates a summary layer (assisted by ChatGPT). Lighter, more thought for use online course. Interface available in French. Free, but limited to 50 notes: Beyond that, you have to switch to the paid version.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Les_outils_tout-en-un\"><\/span>All-in-one tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A quick mention, because the category explodes. Several extensions now combine transcription, AI summary, flashcards and export to Notion. <a href=\"https:\/\/notegpt.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NoteGPT<\/a>, for example, summarises YouTube videos and turns transcription into notes. Its free version caps around 15 AI shares per month, mandatory account. It also offers a free education account. <a href=\"https:\/\/snipo.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snipo<\/a>, Sends your YouTube notes directly to Notion and generates flashcards.<\/p>\n<p>On paper, nothing extraordinary. But to use, for a teacher who prepares a chapter from several videos, winning the summary without watching everything is real time saved. Be careful though. Most operate in freemium, with quotas quickly reached and a mandatory account. Also check what they do with your data before uploading the content of your courses.

If you want to write your own notes by following the video, YiNote is more than enough. Free, without complications. If you work on a lot of online courses, ReClipped goes further, as long as you accept its take-over phase.<\/p>\n<p>And if your real need is to save time without watching everything, look at the AI transcription side. With a reservation for the French-speaking public: Most of these tools remain better in English. To test, therefore, according to your videos and your working language.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You come across a 40-minute YouTube video.
