YouTube Transcript & Summary Generator

Paste a YouTube link. Get the full transcript, an AI summary, and jump-to-timestamp key moments — free, no signup.

Videos up to 30 minutes. One free video per day.

What is this?

A free tool that turns any YouTube video into readable text: the full transcript, an AI-written summary, and a list of key moments you can jump straight to. Useful if you’d rather skim a 40-minute video in two minutes, quote something a video said, or check your own upload for what you actually covered — no account, no watching the whole thing.

AI summary

The gist of a 40-minute video in a few sentences, written by AI as it reads the transcript.

Clickable key moments

A handful of timestamped highlights — click one and YouTube jumps straight there.

Works without captions

No captions on the video? The audio gets transcribed automatically instead.

Works even without captions

Most tools stop at YouTube’s own captions — if a video doesn’t have them, you get nothing. This one doesn’t: when captions aren’t available, the audio is transcribed automatically, so the transcript, summary, and key moments still come out the same either way.

How it works

Paste the link

Drop in any public YouTube video URL — no account, no install.

We get the transcript

YouTube's own captions when they exist; when they don't, we transcribe the audio automatically.

Read, skim, or jump around

Full transcript, an AI summary, and key moments you can click to jump straight to that point in the video.
