Do I get a free Tutbob subscription if I’m at university?
You may get free or discounted access in some cases:
• If your university has partnered with Tutbob and provides access to students. Institutions can license Tutbob so students can use it through their learning systems.
• If your student union or club has a partnership or discount code (for example, some student groups offer discounted subscriptions).
• During campus events, pilots, or ambassador programs, where students may receive free codes.
Tip: Ask your student union, course coordinator, or Tutbob campus ambassadors if your university offers free access or discount codes.
Why won’t Tutbob open on a new tab?
Tutbob only activates on pages with audio or video content, such as lecture recordings or YouTube videos.
It will not open on a blank browser tab.
Can I use Tutbob on any website?
Tutbob works best on websites that contain lecture recordings, educational videos, or spoken learning content, such as YouTube, online courses, and university learning platforms. But you can study on any site.
Does Tutbob work with pre recorded lectures?
Yes. Tutbob works with both live lectures and pre-recorded lecture videos.
When you open a recorded lecture (for example on YouTube or your university’s learning platform), simply click the Tutbob Chrome extension and it will start listening to the audio. Tutbob then processes the lecture and helps generate tools like transcripts, key concepts, notes, quizzes, and flashcards.
This means you can pause, rewind, and review the lecture while Tutbob helps turn the content into study materials to support your revision.
