Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on copy and export to text, and multi-language translation built in caught me off guard. still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. AI-powered summarization is exactly what I needed, and browser-based with no install required. I do wish accuracy depends on YouTube's original transcript quality, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Support for long-form videos just works and free and quick access to YouTube transcripts. Fewer advanced editing tools than dedicated transcription suites can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: support for long-form videos and free and quick access to YouTube transcripts. On balance the feature set — especially aI-powered summarization — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
