❓ VEELGESTELDE VRAGEN:
V: Hoe begrijpt de AI video-inhoud?
A: In tegenstelling tot tools die alleen transcripten lezen, kijkt en begrijpt onze AI (aangedreven door Gemini 2.0) video-inhoud direct. Dit betekent dat we visuele elementen, diagrammen en interacties kunnen vastleggen die niet in transcripten verschijnen, waardoor je notities completer zijn.

V: Waar worden mijn notities opgeslagen?
A: Je notities worden direct opgeslagen in je Obsidian vault, gewoon op je computer. We gebruiken een puur markdown-formaat, zodat je notities altijd toegankelijk zijn en onder jouw controle staan. Screenshots worden lokaal opgeslagen in de asset-map van je vault.

V: Moet ik alles handmatig vastleggen?
A: Nee! Hoewel je handmatig notities en screenshots kunt maken, kan onze AI met je meekijken, helpen bij het vastleggen van belangrijke informatie en notities genereren. Alles wordt direct opgeslagen in je vault - jij bepaalt hoeveel hulp je wilt.

V: Hoe zit het met privacy en veiligheid?
A: We hanteren een echte lokaal-eerst benadering:
- Notities worden direct opgeslagen in je vault
- Screenshots blijven op je computer
- Geen cloudopslag van je inhoud
- Alleen verwerking van wat je actief bekijkt
- Geen gegevens bewaard na verwerking

V: Hoe werkt de AI-verwerking?
A: Wanneer je een video bekijkt, verwerken we het in realtime met Gemini 2.0. De video-inhoud wordt geanalyseerd om notities te genereren, maar niets wordt opgeslagen op onze servers - alle resultaten gaan rechtstreeks naar je vault.

V: Werkt dit met elke video?
A: Ja! HoverNotes werkt met elke video die in je browser wordt afgespeeld, waaronder:
- YouTube tutorials
- Online cursussen (Udemy, Coursera, etc.)
- Privé trainingsvideo's
- Interne documentatie
- Conferentietoespraken

V: Welke talen worden ondersteund?
A: Onze AI kan notities genereren in 15+ talen, waaronder:
- Engels
- Japans
- Koreaans
- Chinees
- Duits
En meer! Kijk in elke taal, krijg notities in jouw voorkeurstaal.

V: Moet ik online zijn?
A: Je hebt een internetverbinding nodig voor AI-verwerking, maar al je notities en screenshots worden lokaal opgeslagen. Je kunt altijd offline toegang krijgen tot je notities zodra ze in je vault staan.

Ry G 2025-11-18: Hey DEV: it's not sending any notes after i click the video and it says "taking your notes" nothing happens, i'm frustrated that this is going on in both my mac and my windows pc. any reason this could be happening?
Inaya 2025-11-09: awesome had no problems totally useful
SS VV 2025-11-02: For Obsidian users, this is an absolute must. This app is simple, but so incredibly useful, especially if you're doing any kind of YouTube tutorials that require anything visual: math, UI, any design things. It's really incredible. You can screenshot along the way and be able to catalog someone's entire design process. I love how I'm immediately able to open the files within Obsidian. Great job!
Simeon Cox 2025-10-28: This is a really cool extension, I love the real time connection between the browser and the Vault. However, before I can really use this, I would need to be able to set a default Vault and folder, instead of browsing for it each time. I'd also need to be able to control the template: the properties, their values and datatypes, as well as text to insert. It's also important to control where screenshots are stored. I keep all my images in a dedicated folder, I don't want to clutter up my Videos folder. I'd also like an easier way to tell if I've already taken notes on a video or not. So if I come back to a video, I can open the video note from the browser and carry on where I left off. Also, the player shortcuts don't work, unless the focus is on the video, which kind of defeats the purpose. I also set my own hotkeys, and they don't seem to work either. With the features above, this would easily be a 5 star extension, and possibly the most useful software I'd ever use.
Sworo Yoyo 2025-10-22: It's Perfect, it can really help me stay on track with all of my notes and learn a lot of information from my video tutorials
Andy Bardales 2025-10-08: I really love this extension. It saves me so much time when I have to watch video lectures since pausing and taking notes takes so long for me. Also, the customer support via discord which is super helpful quickly assisted me in solving an issue I had. Overall, I highly recommend this to someone looking for a way to mitigate the time consumption note taking on video lectures can have.
Ishita Mishra 2025-10-05: It's not working. how can this make notes from Videos?
Pisces22 2025-10-01: Best extension for sure!! this is has really boosted my learning online and I love the diversity of using my own notes alongside AI notes. I can even study my foreign languages with this! Highly recommend!
Suraj sah 2025-09-29: Best extension ever!!!!!!
Wasim Sultani 2025-09-27: This is life Saver! Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much time i spent looking for this kind of tool. God bless you!
Tuyet Cao 2025-09-27: Best extension ever!!!!!!
Eric 2025-09-23: It manages to write one line then just spins up a bunch of "Making your notes.." and never finishes. Also, how is it using offline AI if I didn't download anything?
Hustle King 2025-09-18: Amazing Tool, I can save my time sooooo much. I remember spending soo much time in taking notes, it used to consume soo much time. This tool is such a great help for all students out there. I love the way the tool is built. Very clean and neat and does the job of taking notes. Thank you sooooo much team for your hard work in making this possible. Love from India students
Kelvin Yip 2025-08-21: The integration with Obsidian is broken after updating to V1.9.10.
Roberto Demitri 2025-08-14: This is an incredibly useful application for anyone following video courses. It effectively breaks down language barriers, providing access to countless contents and dramatically speeding up the learning process. The application delivers on its promise of eliminating the need to rewatch videos just to take notes on relevant information. The notes are always accurate and surprisingly comprehensive, capturing even visual elements shown on screen that aren't covered in the audio. In some cases, the notes have proven to be clearer than the original presentations. Occasionally, I've encountered some duplicated sections, likely a consequence of how videos are segmented for AI analysis, but this is certainly preferable to the alternative of risking missing parts of the content. The ability to enhance notes with full-screen screenshots or specific area captures is excellent, as is the option to save notes locally in Obsidian. I've been using the application for over a month and have observed that it's constantly being improved and updated with new features, such as the ability to increase or decrease video playback speed. Perhaps the user interaction could still be refined - for example, the need to select the save vault each time - but if I had to keep only one Chrome extension, I would definitely choose this one. I've also experienced that the customer support is very responsive and helpful.
Daniel 2025-08-11: Such a cool idea!
Jacob Laube 2025-08-01: What an amazing app! I use the for all my online studies to help me take notes while I watch. It doesn't just transcribe, it summarises perfectly. Hovernotes isn't too basic in summary, and isn't just transcribing word-for-word but retains the notable points of the video. Not just that, but when something is clearly referenced Hovernotes will often take a 'word-for-word' note of those parts making it truely unique. It ensures that it is accurate in what needs to be referenced for later, and summarises in anecdotal stories or side tangents. Exactly what I needed. Thanks for such a useful study companion!
Aina Rasolofoson 2025-07-30: I was really impressed by the ai taking notes on the video, although I find it a little annoying to have to specify every time the folder path to my vault Another thing is that, there is no marks on the video afterwards that I already have a note about it , which could confuse me later on I think that adding a marking of a note taken would really be cool Beside that, it is one of the best add-ons for obsidian I could find here
哈哈哈哈 2025-07-27: The audio and video are out of sync; after pressing pause, the sound continues.
Anatoli Kirigwajjo 2025-07-18: Its an awesome tool to be fair!
Avi's choreo 2025-07-14: awesome extention for not making but AI features are stricted for some minutes, if it's became free this will be a path braking extension a learner can use. Please try to collaberate pitch in with some higher company with this idea so that we can get the AI feature for free, All the best
Simon Woo 2025-06-25: Thank you for taking the time to create this wonderful Chrome plugin. However, I believe there are some areas where it can be improved. Firstly, after capturing a screenshot, the next entry point for adding a note is not centered, which requires me to take my hand off the keyboard to scroll to the next note. Secondly, when I enter "Video Mode," I receive an error message stating, "This video is unavailable. Error code: 4." If you could address these issues, the plugin would be almost perfect. Thank you, Simon
Ayushman Krishna 2025-06-17: very helpful taking notes.
Yasmin Smith 2025-06-01: Incredible! This extension is an absolute game changer for being able to concentrate on watching a video for learning, with the good faith that the transcription is spot on!
Coc Fun 2025-05-17: This is absolutely perfect for taking notes and amazing work done by developers.
Eduardo PKM 2025-05-09: Simply amazing.
Luca 2025-04-16: HoverNotes has genuinely changed the way I learn from coding tutorials. I spend a lot of time watching videos on YouTube and Udemy, and this tool makes everything so much easier. Instead of constantly pausing or rewinding to jot things down, HoverNotes automatically generates clean, well-organized notes in real time—complete with syntax-highlighted code snippets and helpful screenshots. It feels like having a smart study partner sitting next to me. The split-view mode is one of my favorite features. Being able to watch the video and see my notes side by side keeps me focused and saves a ton of time. It’s especially great for technical content where switching between windows can be a pain. The interface is clean, intuitive, and clearly built with developers and learners in mind. What really sets HoverNotes apart is how intelligently it captures context. It doesn’t just rely on transcripts—it actually “watches” the video with you and picks up on diagrams, code examples, and even handwritten notes on screen. The AI-generated notes are impressively accurate and easy to review later, especially when you add a few screenshots to give it more context. I also really appreciate the flexibility of how it stores notes. You can access everything in the cloud, or connect it with Obsidian if you prefer to keep things local and private. Whether you're a student, a developer, or just someone who learns best from video content, I can’t recommend HoverNotes enough. I’ve tried a bunch of note-taking tools, but this one is on another level.
Derrick 2025-03-15: Forget other note-taking apps, HoverNotes is in a league of its own. As someone who’s lazy when it comes to taking notes, I had tried a bunch of paid and free extensions, but nothing compares to HoverNotes. The AI-Notes feature is my favorite, letting me focus on what truly matters: learning. For developers, it’s even better. What stands out is that it doesn’t just use transcripts; it actually watches the video with you. This makes it powerful for understanding code, diagrams, sketches, and anything referenced in the video. The notes are well-formatted, with all code, commands, and key details neatly organized. Just take a few screenshots if needed, and you’ll get detailed notes for review. It works on almost all websites, offers cloud storage, and you can always access your notes online. But the integration with Obsidian is perfect for those who prefer a private and local note-keeping option. Highly recommended for developers and students alike!
Abdallah Mtavya 2025-02-09: HoverNotes is an absolute game-changer for developers and learners! As someone who frequently watches coding tutorials on platforms like YouTube and Udemy, I found this tool to be incredibly efficient and intuitive. The real-time AI-powered notes, complete with syntax-highlighted code snippets and screenshots, have saved me so much time—no more rewinding videos to catch details! The split-view mode is a brilliant addition, allowing me to watch and take notes simultaneously. It’s made my learning process smoother and more productive. Highly recommend HoverNotes to anyone looking to streamline their learning experience—it’s truly exceptional!
Paul 2025-02-09: This is a must-have for anyone who watches video tutorials and needs efficient note-taking without constantly rewinding to see what they missed. It automatically generates structured summaries, capturing key points without requiring you to pause and write things down manually. Obviously nothing will ever take away the joy of manual note-taking but this complements it and makes it more efficient and time saving. The integration with YouTube and other video platforms is seamless, and the ability to export notes makes it even more convenient. This tool is a game-changer for students and professionals looking to save time and stay organized. I was really impressed on the first try and since then I've looked nowhere else. Looking forward to more diverse applications beyond coding tutorials.
