AI summaries for any YouTube video
Everything you need to get the point without watching the whole thing.
.avif){kind=icon}
Context-aware, ultra-accurate
JotMe's summaries are meaning-aware: every point considers who is speaking, what the video is actually about, what has been said so far, your custom terms, and how the ideas connect. The key points come out right.
Works without captions
Caption-based summarizers fail on videos without subtitles. JotMe works from the audio itself, so any video, stream, or premiere can be summarized.
Summaries in your language
Summarize a video spoken in any of 200+ languages and get the key points in yours.
Your summary is saved
The summary and full transcript are saved to your dashboard right after, so nothing disappears when you close the tab.
No bot, no setup
JotMe runs on your computer or processes the file you upload. No browser extension, works with any video site.

Custom dictionary and auto language detection
Improve accuracy with industry-specific terms and custom replacements. JotMe also detects the spoken language automatically, so you never set it by hand.
How to summarize a YouTube video
Two ways, under a minute: upload the video file, or capture it live while it plays.
STEP 1
1. Upload the video file, or capture live
Have the video? Upload it to Video to Text for the fastest, most accurate summary. Watching instead? The desktop app captures the audio as it plays.
STEP 2
2. Set the spoken language
Choose the language being spoken in the video, for example Japanese. If speakers switch languages, pick multilingual mode.
