Watch the lecture.
Keep the notes.
Notes with the slides, written while you watch. Share the tab a lecture plays in and each key slide lands next to what was said about it. Or paste a YouTube link, record a class with your mic, or upload an audio or video file.
Demo: a tutorial video plays in a browser tab on the left while NoteAlong writes a study note on the right, in real time: a title, a TL;DR, sections, bullets and a code block.

How it works
Four ways in. No pausing to type.
01
Pick a way in
Share the tab a lecture plays in, paste a YouTube link, use your mic in class, or drop in a file. Nothing to install.
02
Speech turns into text
You get a timestamped transcript. Each piece of audio is deleted once it has become text.
03
The note is waiting
Stop when you're done. The note is titled and split into sections, and it suggests a folder to file it in.
The difference
For lectures with no transcript to copy.
Paste-a-link tools need captions, so they stop where captions stop. NoteAlong works from the sound itself. If you can hear it, you can have notes on it.
Paid course platforms
Udemy, Coursera, Maven. Your own notes on the courses you're enrolled in.
Live webinars
Browser streams with no replay, no transcript, and no second chance.
Bootcamp lectures
Cohort lectures behind a login. Your notes stay after the cohort ends.
The lecture in the room
Nothing gets posted afterwards. If your course allows it, record with your laptop's mic and the notes are there after class.
After the lecture
What you can do with a note.
Ask it questions, search it, file it, take it to Anki. When the exam gets close, turn any note into quizzes, flashcards and spaced review.
The slides, in your notes
From a shared tab, each key slide sits in the note beside what the lecturer said about it. Want a frame it skipped? Press Snap: 3 per note on Free, unlimited on Pro.
Ask your notes
Ask a question in plain words. Every answer cites the note it came from, so you can check it against the timestamps there.
Anki and Obsidian, free
Export cards to Anki with their images. Export again later and the deck updates in place, with your reviews kept. Notes go to your Obsidian vault as Markdown. Notion sync and PDF export are included in Pro.
Notes in 20 languages
Watch in English, read the notes in Spanish. Get notes in another language 3 times a month on Free, as often as you like on Pro.
A folder for every note
Each new note suggests a folder. Click Move to accept it, or Undo if it guessed wrong.
Search every word
One shortcut searches every note and its full timestamped transcript.
The output
A note, at actual size.
This is what NoteAlong writes, set in the same book type you'll read it in. Every block carries the moment it came from, and the slide sits where the lecturer talked about it.

useState: state in function components
Calling the setter queues a re-render, and updates inside the same event are batched. When the next value depends on the previous one, pass the updater form, setCount(c => c + 1), so stacked updates can't clobber each other.
Lazy initialization: useState(() => expensive()) runs the initializer once, not on every render.
State belongs to each component instance. Two renders of the same component never share it.
Timestamps are the note's citations. Each block points back to the moment it was written from, so you can check any line against the lecture in a few seconds.
Audio deleted the moment it's transcribed
We keep the words, never the audio. Deletion is part of the pipeline, not a setting.
Your content never trains AI models
Transcription and note generation run on no-training API configurations. Your notes are yours.
Cancel from Settings, no tricks
No retention flows, no buried buttons. Export your notes and go, any time.

FAQ
Before you try it.
Short answers. Anything else, email us.
Do the notes include the slides?
Yes, when you share a browser tab. Key slides go into the note next to what was said about them, on every plan. Press Snap to add a frame yourself: 3 per note on Free, unlimited on Pro. A YouTube link, the mic or a file gives you notes without slides.
Can I use it for a lecture in the room?
Yes. Open NoteAlong on your laptop and record with your microphone. It checks the mic before you start, and the minutes count toward your plan like any other lecture. Check your syllabus first, since some professors set rules about recording.
Is this legal?
NoteAlong is made for personal study of lectures you already have access to. With a tab, it listens to audio already playing in your own browser, on your own machine. It doesn't download the video, keep the audio or share anything, and your notes stay private to you. Your course platform's terms and your school's recording policy still apply, so check them if you're unsure.
Do you store my audio?
No. Audio is transcribed in short chunks, and each chunk is deleted from storage once its text is written. An uploaded file is converted in your browser, so the original never leaves your computer. What stays is the transcript, your note and the slides picked for it.
Which browsers work?
Sharing a tab with audio needs Chrome or Edge on a computer. Firefox and Safari don't offer tab audio yet. Recording with your mic works in recent Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
Does it work on paid course platforms?
Yes, for courses you're enrolled in. NoteAlong listens to the tab's audio, so it works where the video plays in your browser: Udemy, Coursera, bootcamp portals, internal training sites. The platform doesn't need captions or a transcript.
What languages are supported?
The speech engine understands about 100 languages. Notes can be written in 20, including English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Chinese and Japanese. Pick a notes language once in Settings, or use Get notes in on any note: 3 language versions a month on Free, unlimited on Pro.
Do you train AI on my data?
No. We don't train models on your content, and transcription and note generation run on API configurations where the providers don't use it for training either.
