CourseSpeed — YouTube Video Speed Controller & AI Summary

Video speed controller + AI course notes from subtitles, chapters & timestamps. YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn, Skillshare. First note free, then 5 free/mo. CourseSpeed is a video speed controller for any online video — YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and Skillshare (plus any page with an HTML5 player). Control playback speed from 0.25x to 4x, generate AI study notes from subtitles or lecture audio, track learning progress, and bookmark key moments — all in one free Chrome extension. No sign-up required. 🎮 Video Speed Controller (0.25x–4.0x) Unlike generic speed controllers that lose your settings on refresh, CourseSpeed remembers your preferred speed and restores it automatically — even when switching lectures within a course (SPA navigation). Full keyboard control: • Shift+, / Shift+. — decrease / increase speed • ← → — skip 5 seconds (customizable on Premium) • Shift+H — toggle control bar visibility • Shift+B — bookmark current moment • Shift+/ — toggle between 1x and your last speed All shortcuts work out of the box and persist across browser restarts. ⚡ AI Subtitle Summary (One-Click) The fastest way to turn any lecture into structured study notes. Click the 📝 button on the video control bar — CourseSpeed reads the full lecture subtitles, sends them to AI, and returns organized notes with chapter headings and timestamps. Click any timestamp to jump straight to that moment in the video. • Full transcript captured in seconds — no need to watch the whole lecture • Chapters & timestamps generated automatically • Works on YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning & Skillshare • Subtitles are processed in memory only — never stored, never cached 🎙️ AI Study Notes (Audio Recording) For videos without subtitles, record the lecture audio in the side panel (up to 40 minutes). Audio is transcribed via speech-to-text, then processed into structured study notes with section headings. View all notes in a full-page reader. If an upload fails, your recording is kept — retry with one click. 📊 Learning Dashboard Your first AI note is free — it automatically starts a 7-day full-feature trial (unlimited AI notes + complete dashboard). After the trial you keep 5 free AI notes every month, and can upgrade anytime for unlimited notes, weekly watch time, learning streaks, total hours saved, weekly goal progress, and CSV export. 🔖 Bookmarks Save your spot with one click (Shift+B). View all bookmarks with timestamps. Jump back to any moment instantly. Free users: up to 3 bookmarks.

It is used to count monthly free notes fairly, diagnose failed recordings (duration and size of the audio you upload), and measure how many users successfully use the extension — never linked to any account or identity • AI Notes audio is sent to our server solely for transcription, immediately discarded after processing — no audio is stored • Subtitle text is processed in memory only and released immediately after the summary is generated — never cached or saved ❓ FAQ Q: How is CourseSpeed different from YouTube-only summarizers? A: CourseSpeed works everywhere — YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and Skillshare, plus any page with an HTML5 video player. For subtitled videos it reads subtitles directly; for videos without subtitles it records the tab audio while you watch, then transcribes. Q: Does this download or record courses? A: No. CourseSpeed controls video playback speed and captures audio for AI note generation only. It cannot and will not download, record, or redistribute course videos. Audio is discarded immediately after transcription.
