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 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 lecture audio directly in the side panel. Audio is transcribed via speech-to-text, then processed into structured study notes with section headings. View all notes in a full-page reader.

A: Yes. YouTube AI tools cannot access DRM-protected course content on Udemy, Coursera, or LinkedIn Learning. CourseSpeed can — because it captures audio locally while you watch, then transcribes. For subtitled lectures, it reads subtitles directly with zero recording needed. 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. Subtitles are read from the player in memory only. Q: Is this allowed by learning platforms? A: Yes. CourseSpeed interacts only with the video playback interface, similar to adjusting volume or playback speed in any video player. It does not bypass DRM, access protected content, or interfere with platform authentication. Q: Why another speed controller when there are free ones? A: Most generic speed controllers lose your settings on page refresh, lack AI note-taking, and aren't optimized for course platforms. CourseSpeed was built because the developer personally lost hours of study notes when a generic speed controller's shortcuts reset mid-lecture.
