Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you turn your next YouTube video into clean, study-ready notes.

What is Scribely?

Scribely is an AI note-making tool that turns YouTube videos into organized handwritten-style or digital notes. It is built for students, educators, and creators who want to revise faster without manually transcribing long videos.

How does Scribely work?

Paste your YouTube link, choose mode and style, then generate. Scribely reads transcript data, extracts key ideas, and formats the result into notes you can refine and export as image or PDF.

Is Scribely free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes up to 3 total generations with up to 60-minute videos. If you need more generations, longer videos, saved notes, and dashboard access, check the pricing page.

What videos work best?

Videos with clear speech and clean transcript availability usually perform best. Lectures, tutorials, explainers, and podcast-style educational videos are ideal.

How accurate are generated notes?

Notes are generally strong for structure and key points, but accuracy depends on transcript quality and how clearly the source video is presented. For best results, do a quick review and adjust wording where needed.

Can I edit notes after generation?

Yes. You can edit notes after generation. Paid plans also unlock saving and accessing notes later through your dashboard.
