Transform Your Udemy Course Videos into Beautiful Study Notes

February 20265 min read

Have you ever watched a Udemy course, only to realize later that you can't remember half of what was covered? You're not alone. Studies show that we forget up to 70% of new information within 24 hours without proper note-taking.

NoteSynth is a free, open-source tool that solves this problem by automatically converting your Udemy course videos into well-structured, beautiful Markdown notes you can review anytime.

What is NoteSynth?

NoteSynth is an AI-powered application that:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฅExtracts captions from your Udemy course lectures
  • โœจTransforms them into clean, organized study notes using AI
  • ๐Ÿ“ŠShows real-time progress as each lecture is processed
  • ๐Ÿ“œTracks your generation history for easy reference
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆDownloads everything as a structured ZIP file

Think of it as your personal study assistant that takes notes for you while you focus on learning.

Key Features

๐Ÿ“

AI-Powered Note Generation

Using advanced language models (Groq and Google Gemini), NoteSynth doesn't just copy the captionsโ€”it intelligently restructures them:

  • โœ… Clear headings and subheadings
  • โœ… Bullet points for key concepts
  • โœ… Code snippets when applicable
  • โœ… Emoji highlights for tips & warnings
๐Ÿ“

Organized Output

Your notes are automatically organized by chapter and lecture:

๐Ÿ“‚ My-Course-Notes/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ 01-Introduction/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ 01-welcome.md
โ””โ”€โ”€ 02-overview.md
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ 02-Getting-Started/
โ””โ”€โ”€ ...
