This saves me so much time as a content creator. It gives summaries and time stamps so you can go and watch that part of the video. Thank you for this tool. I appreciate it very much!

Wow this is a gamechanger of how I make my notes of youtube videos in Obsidian...

This is accelerating the learning I must do via YouTube videos. It is such a shortcut that I am reducing my learning time from watching an entire 1 hour plus video to about 10-15 minutes. LOVE IT!!

I just downloaded the chrome extension recently because I saw it in the GPT-4 plugins list. I'm on the free trial right now but I'm now definitely going to get the year subscription. The summaries it generates for YouTube videos have been absolutely incredible so far! I'm impressed...
Chris Tauff
I'm using the paid version, it does a very good job on the summaries. I loaded 5 videos of conference talks I attended and took notes on, and tested its output. Works as advertised.

I don't usually apply AI, this is my favourite way - so far. Will save me hours I need to get back. The purpose is focused and does what you need. I save each clippings to my markdown database for further work/reading. I love you have made this...

Deserves the money for the time being. Nothings else as responsive and detailed as this. Things are moving fast with AI. Would this plugin keep up? I really hope so because annual price is way cheaper and reasonable for what it give you. (time)

Very impressive tech. The speed and quality of the summations are great. I'm still just playing around with it now but starting to have some ideas of how to use it to my advantage. Definitely recommend as a way to save some time and summarize.

It works great! I like how it 1. blends into YouTube's UI (looks like a native part of the site) and 2. offers “key insights” in addition to a summary (much easier to read)...

Frequently asked questions
How to download a YouTube transcript?
To download a YouTube video transcript, use Noiz. Open any video, click the Noiz button, and you'll instantly get a text version you can save.
Why can't I find the transcript option for certain YouTube videos?
Some videos don't have the "show transcript" feature because creators haven't added captions. Noiz can transcribe YouTube video content only when captions are available.
Is it possible to customize the transcripts generated from YouTube?
While the full YouTube transcript can only be edited manually, Noiz offers highly customizable key idea summaries. When you transcribe YouTube video content, you can tailor them to your needs:
- Adjust length: Choose short, detailed, or optimal summaries.
- Set focus: Get actionable, inspiring, or controversial points.
- Pick format: Opt for a list or Q&A style.
- Customize formatting: Add emojis or group insights into clusters with headlines.
This allows you to get the most relevant information from any video transcript, tailored to your specific needs.
Can I transform a YouTube video content to a Word document?
Use Noiz to transcribe YouTube video content, then copy the transcript. You can paste this text into Word or any other document editor.
