Most of the value lives in a handful of ideas — but finding them means scrubbing back and forth, pausing to take notes, and losing the thread.","why2":"A transcript-grounded summary changes that. You see the structure of the whole video at a glance, decide what's worth a deeper look, and jump straight to the parts that matter for your exam or assignment.","why3":"Because the summary is built from the video's actual transcript, it stays faithful to what was said. It's a study aid that respects the source — not a generic AI guess about what a video on the topic might contain.","why4":"And once the summary lives in your Scholarly workspace, it becomes a launchpad: ask follow-up questions, generate practice questions, or build flashcards — all grounded in that same video.","eyebrowSources":"Beyond one video","sourcesTitle":"Can I study a whole playlist — or mix videos with readings?","sourcesIntro":"Yes.

Private or restricted videos may not be accessible for summarization.","faq2Question":"Is the YouTube summarizer free?","faq2Answer":"Yes. The Free plan includes 1 lifetime AI Creation Credit. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits each week plus unlimited uploads, quizzes, and grounded AI chat.","faq3Question":"Does it read the actual video transcript?","faq3Answer":"Yes. Summaries are generated from the video's own transcript, so they stay faithful to what was actually said rather than guessing from the title or thumbnail.","faq4Question":"Can I turn a summary into flashcards or a quiz?","faq4Answer":"Yes. Once a summary is in your Scholarly workspace you can convert it into flashcards, generate a practice quiz, or open a grounded AI chat — all built from the same video.","faq5Question":"Can I get a YouTube summary with timestamps?","faq5Answer":"Yes. Because summaries are built from the timed transcript, key points keep timestamps where captions provide them — so you can jump from a bullet in the summary straight back to that moment in the video.","faq6Question":"Does it work on long lectures — an hour or more?","faq6Answer":"Yes, long lectures are the main use case. The longer the video, the more time a transcript-grounded summary saves: a 90-minute lecture compresses into structured notes you can review in a few minutes, then selectively rewatch.","faq7Question":"What if a video has no transcript or captions?","faq7Answer":"Most YouTube videos have automatic captions, which is enough. If a video genuinely has none, it can't be summarized from the link — but you can record or upload the audio to Scholarly instead, and it will transcribe and summarize it like any other recording.","faq8Question":"Can I summarize a YouTube video in another language?","faq8Answer":"Yes. You can summarize a video in one language and read the summary in another — Scholarly supports 70+ languages, which helps with courses taught in a second language.","faq9Question":"Can I combine YouTube videos with webpages and PDFs?","faq9Answer":"Yes. Videos, webpages, PDFs, and recordings all become sources in the same workspace. Group them into a folder per course and ask questions across all of them — answers come back with citations to the exact source.","faq10Question":"How do I summarize a YouTube video?","faq10Answer":"Copy the video's URL from YouTube, paste it into the summarizer above, and Scholarly reads the transcript and returns a structured summary in seconds — a short overview, the key points in order, and timestamps where captions provide them. Create a free account to save it and turn it into flashcards or a quiz.","faq11Question":"What's the best free YouTube video summarizer for students?","faq11Answer":"For studying, the best YouTube video summarizer is one that grounds the summary in the real transcript and lets you act on it. Scholarly does both: it's free to start, summarizes in 70+ languages with timestamps, and keeps each video as a source you can chat with, quiz yourself on, or convert to flashcards — not a throwaway paragraph you copy and lose.","howToName":"How to summarize a YouTube video with AI","howToStep0Name":"Paste the video URL","howToStep0Text":"Copy the YouTube link of the lecture or tutorial and paste it into Scholarly's YouTube summarizer.","howToStep1Name":"Let the AI read the transcript","howToStep1Text":"Scholarly pulls the video's transcript and builds a structured summary with key points and timestamps.","howToStep2Name":"Study from the summary","howToStep2Text":"Review the key points, jump back to important moments, then turn the video into notes, flashcards, or a practice quiz."}}
