Notes, the full transcript, and answers, all linked to the moment in the video.

Example video: planning a product launchExample channel · 42:18
Example
  1. 1:12

    Pick the launch date first, then work backwards: every other decision gets easier once it's fixed.

  2. 8:45

    Write the announcement before building the page. If the announcement is hard to write, the product story isn't clear yet.

  3. 19:30

    Line up a few early users to post on launch day instead of relying on one big channel.

  4. 33:02

    Plan the week after launch too: most of the follow-up questions arrive then.

Questions

Is the YouTube summarizer free?

Yes: no account and nothing to pay. Each visitor gets a free allowance that resets shortly after it runs out. For more than that, TranscriptFetch, the transcript API underneath this site, handles any volume.

Does it work on videos without captions?

Yes. When a video has no caption track we transcribe the audio, so the notes still come from what was actually said.

Where do the notes come from?

From the transcript, and only the transcript. Every line links to the second in the video it came from, so you can check any claim.

Can I get the full transcript too?

Yes. The transcript tab has every word with timestamps, and you can copy it or download it as a text file.

What about Shorts?

Shorts are YouTube videos. Paste the link the same way.
