HoverNotes

What HoverNotes is

A note tool for learning from video. It watches the lesson and writes notes that keep the code, formulas and diagrams that a plain transcript drops or mangles.

For technical courses that difference matters, since the code is the point.

What you can do with it

• Generate notes from a video lesson
• Preserve code blocks accurately
• Capture formulas and diagrams
• Work with YouTube, Udemy and Coursera
• Sync notes into Obsidian
• Review material without rewatching

Who it is for

• Programmers learning from video
• Students taking technical courses
• Anyone studying from recorded lectures
• Obsidian users building a knowledge base

What to watch out for

• Notes need reviewing: understanding still requires watching and practising
• Capturing course content may be restricted by the platform terms
• Copyright applies to the course material you capture
• Key concepts should be confirmed by watching the video back
