YouTube transcript, then the summary
sum.video fetches the public transcript of a YouTube video, writes a structured summary, and keeps both next to the player. Search the transcript, copy it, or click any line to jump to that moment. You don't have to download a subtitle file first.
What you can do with the transcript
Search for a word or name
Find every place a speaker mentions a term, then jump to it in the video.
Quote it accurately
Copy the exact wording for notes, articles, or citations instead of paraphrasing from memory.
Ask questions about it
Use the chat to ask what the video says about a topic; answers come from the transcript.
How it works
- Paste a YouTube link on sum.video, or click Summarize on the video with the Chrome extension.
- sum.video fetches the public transcript and an AI model turns it into insights with timestamps.
- Read the summary, search the transcript, ask questions, or share the link.
