Big Update: CANT.study Now Supports YouTube Videos!
Sanath Swaroop Mulky
When we launched CANT.study, our goal was simple: to help students capture and understand spoken content—lectures, audio notes, and recordings, more efficiently. Today, we’re excited to announce a major step forward in that mission.
CANT.study now supports YouTube video inputs.
This update opens up a new world of learning possibilities by allowing students to extract meaningful notes, summaries, and transcripts from educational videos with zero manual effort.
What’s New
YouTube Link Support
Paste any public YouTube video URL into CANT.study, and our system will fetch the content and begin processing it just like a lecture recording.
Automatic Transcription and Summarization
CANT.study transcribes the spoken content in the video, summarizes it into concise points, and presents it as an organized, study-friendly format.
Search Across Video Content
Once processed, you can search the transcript and summary to find specific concepts, keywords, or explanations—without having to rewatch the video.
Unified Note Management
Whether you’re using recordings, audio uploads, or YouTube content, all notes live in one place. Organized, searchable, and ready whenever you need them.
Use Cases This Unlocks
