How-To Guides
Step-by-step tutorials to help you master video learning with TAGiT — from tagging your first video to building a comprehensive knowledge database
How to Tag YouTube Videos for Studying
Master the art of capturing important moments while watching educational content. Turn any YouTube video into a structured study resource.
Install the TAGiT Chrome Extension
Add TAGiT to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. The extension will appear as a button on YouTube videos.
Start Watching a Video
Navigate to any YouTube video you want to learn from - lectures, tutorials, documentaries, or educational content.
Tag Important Moments
When you hear something important, press Alt+T (Windows/Linux) or Opt+T (Mac). You can also click the TAGiT button on the extension. The tag is created instantly without pausing playback.
Review AI-Generated Summaries
TAGiT automatically extracts the transcript around that moment and generates an AI summary of the key concepts. Review and edit if needed.
Customize Your Settings
Adjust the context window (15, 30, or 60 seconds) to capture more or less surrounding content. Change summary length (Short, Medium, or Long) based on your learning style. Access settings from the extension or dashboard.
Organize Your Tags
View all your tags in the dashboard at app.tagit.video. Search by keyword, filter by video, or organize by topic.
Export Study Notes
Premium users can export tags as PDF or Markdown study guides, perfect for exam preparation or reference.
How to Study with Flashcards from Video Content
Use AI-generated flashcards and spaced repetition to retain information from YouTube videos long-term. Transform passive watching into active learning.
Create Tags with Flashcards
When you tag a moment, TAGiT automatically generates flashcards from the key concepts in that segment. Each tag can produce multiple flashcard pairs.
Access Your Flashcard Library
Go to the Flashcards page in your dashboard. You'll see all flashcards organized by video and topic.
Review with Spaced Repetition
Click 'Study Now' to start a review session. TAGiT uses spaced repetition to show you cards at optimal intervals for long-term retention.
Rate Your Understanding
After revealing each answer, rate how well you knew it (Got it, Almost had it, Had no clue). This helps TAGiT schedule the next review at the perfect time.
Track Your Progress
Monitor your learning progress with statistics. See which concepts you've mastered and which need more review.
Study Consistently
Make flashcard review a daily habit. Even 10-15 minutes per day can dramatically improve retention compared to passive re-watching.

Search Your Knowledge Base
Use the Search page to find insights across all your tagged videos. Search by keyword, concept, or topic to surface relevant moments.
