Transcript Capture
Retrieve readable transcript text from supported YouTube videos and keep the source close to every summary.
YouTube transcripts, summaries, and next steps
Turn long-form videos into source-grounded transcripts, sharp summaries, action items, and reusable briefings before the meeting, class, or research sprint moves on.
Current task
Summarize a 24 minute strategy interview
A focused toolkit for people who need the signal from video without rewatching every minute.
Retrieve readable transcript text from supported YouTube videos and keep the source close to every summary.
Generate concise summaries shaped for study notes, executive updates, tutorial digests, or research scans.
Pull decisions, tasks, risks, and follow-ups into a format that is easy to review after the video ends.
Choose the tone and structure of each result so the same transcript can support different jobs.
Workflow
Paste a YouTube URL, select the language and template, then let the API prepare the transcript for summaries that stay tied to the original source.
Submit the video. Capture the URL and desired transcript language.
Resolve the transcript. Normalize the video id and return controlled failure states when unavailable.
Shape the result. Feed summary templates and history views when the larger product workflow connects.

About the project
Video Summarizer is designed around a practical workflow: capture the transcript, keep the original language visible, and generate output that can be reviewed later from a dashboard or consumed through API integrations.
"A good video summary should feel like the sharpest person in the room already watched it and left clean notes."
Contact / API
The current API v2 surface focuses on transcript lookup. Use it as the first building block for summaries, task history, and template-driven outputs.
