Our AI provides highly accurate summaries based on video transcripts. It's particularly effective at identifying main topics, key points, and important details. However, the quality depends on the transcript accuracy and video content clarity. For critical information, we recommend cross-referencing with the original video.
Analysis time varies depending on video length. Short videos (under 10 minutes) typically take 30-60 seconds to analyze. Longer videos may take a few minutes as our AI processes the content in sections to ensure comprehensive understanding. The wait is worth it for the detailed insights you receive!
Our AI Assistant can analyze videos in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and more. The tool works with any video that has captions available, whether they're original or auto-generated by YouTube.
