In their own words
Scribiz
Scribiz turns a video link or file into a transcript, on-screen text, summary, and chapters. It uses available captions when suitable and listens to audio when captions are missing or poor. Watch mode reads visible material such as slides and code, adding timestamps to notes. Results can be exported in SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown, or JSON. YouTube, direct media links, podcast feeds, and uploads work best; TikTok, X, and Vimeo are best effort on the web, while Instagram links usually require uploading a file. The web tool accepts files up to 100 MB and about 50 minutes of audio. Scribiz says local video processing sends audio chunks, and may send a small low-resolution copy for Watch, rather than uploading an entire video. Media is deleted when a job ends, while results expire after 24 hours or after 30 days with an account. Its HTTP API creates asynchronous jobs from links or uploads and exposes status, results, and progress events; webhooks are unavailable, so users can poll or follow the event stream. A remote MCP server supports Claude, Cursor, and Codex. The free plan includes daily and monthly usage limits. Pro costs $10 a month; Mac Lifetime costs $99, paid once and is not on sale yet.
yTeaser
yTeaser takes a YouTube link and returns an AI summary with three extracted takeaways, each under 100 characters. It detects the video’s language, summarizes in that language, and translates non-English videos into English. Optional sentiment analysis grades reactions in top comments from A+ to F. The web app and Chrome extension provide access; the extension adds a summary button to YouTube thumbnails and shows results inline. A REST API offers video summarization and English translation endpoints, rate limited to 20 and 30 requests per minute respectively. The Slack bot detects YouTube links and replies in message threads, although the site says it is awaiting Slack review and approval. The free plan costs nothing and allows 10 summaries per day without an account. Pro costs $1.99 a month or $9.90 a year, with 50 summaries per day and priority support. yTeaser accepts YouTube links, not uploads. Summaries may fail for private, age-restricted, removed, or very short videos.
