Frequently asked questions

Which YouTube videos work?

Any public YouTube video with captions or audio works. Lectures, tutorials, podcasts, interviews, documentaries. Private or age-restricted videos are not supported.

Does it support languages other than English?

Yes. Almanac supports 100+ languages. If the video has captions, we use them directly. Otherwise we transcribe the audio in the detected language.

How are flashcards generated?

AI reads the structured notes and extracts key concepts as question-answer pairs. The questions are designed to test comprehension, not just recall.

What is spaced repetition?

Spaced repetition (SRS) is a learning technique where you review material at increasing intervals. Almanac uses the SM-2 algorithm — the same one behind Anki — to schedule your reviews at the optimal time.

Is it free?

Yes. You can convert up to 3 YouTube videos per month for free, no signup required. Pro plan ($9/month) gives you unlimited notes and full SRS.

How is this different from NotebookLM?

NotebookLM generates notes and basic flashcards but has no spaced repetition system — cards just sit there. Almanac schedules your reviews so you actually retain the information.
