No. Just paste the YouTube video URL — we automatically extract the spoken content and generate the summary for you. No transcript needed.

How does it work?

We extract the video's spoken content, analyze it with AI, and generate a structured summary highlighting the main points, insights, and takeaways.

How long can the videos be?

You can summarize videos of any length, including long podcasts, lectures, and interviews that are 1–3 hours or more.

How long does it take to generate a summary?

Most summaries are ready in under a minute, depending on the video length.

How accurate are the summaries?

Summaries are generated directly from the video's content. While no AI is perfect, the goal is to stay faithful to what's actually said, not invent new information.

We use YouTube's auto-generated captions where available. Most videos with clear spoken audio are supported.
