Summarize Any YouTube Video In Seconds Using AI with Transcript!
Welcome to our latest blog post where we will introduce you to an incredible tool that can summarize any YouTube video in just seconds. Imagine being able to obtain a transcript and a summary from any video on the platform with just one click. Whether you want to save time by getting the highlights from educational videos or you simply want to summarize your own content, this tool will revolutionize the way you consume video content. So, let's dive in and explore how you can achieve this amazing feat.
Introducing Glasp
The tool we will be using is called Glasp, which is an app that can be easily installed from the Chrome store. We will provide a link in the description so you can follow along. Once installed, you'll notice a small icon at the top right of your Chrome browser. If you don't see it, click on the extensions button (the puzzle piece icon) and make sure Glasp is pinned and enabled. Now, let's head back to YouTube and see how it works.
Selecting a Video
Before we start summarizing videos, it's important to note that shorter videos tend to generate better summaries. Trying to summarize a two-hour podcast might not yield the best results due to the limitations of the tool. However, the technique works for videos of any length. To demonstrate, let's choose a video about a new text-to-video app called "Decoherence".
Once you've selected the video you want to summarize, click on the "Share" button below the video and copy the URL. Now, return to the top right corner of your browser where the Glasp icon is located. Click on it, and you'll be presented with three options. The one we recommend is "View AI Summary", as it opens the summary in a new tab. If you prefer a plain text transcript, you can click the other button, but for the purpose of this tutorial, we will focus on the summary.
Generating the Summary with ChatGPT
Upon clicking the "View AI Summary" button, the summary will load in a new tab using ChatGPT. Here you will see the automatically generated summary along with a video summary prompt. And just like that, you have a concise summary without having to go through the entire video. It's that simple!
If you find that the summary is not up to par or you prefer a longer and more detailed summary, you can simply type "rewrite but longer" in the prompt, and it will generate a new summary for you. This feature allows you to customize the level of detail and length you desire.
Final Thoughts
Glasp is a game-changer in the world of video content consumption. With the ability to retrieve summaries and transcripts with a single click, it saves you valuable time while still ensuring you capture the essence and highlights of any YouTube video. Whether you're a content creator or a curious learner, this tool will revolutionize the way you interact with online videos.
So next time you stumble upon a lengthy video you don't have time for, remember Glasp and how it can simplify your life. Install the app, follow the steps we outlined above, and enjoy the convenience and efficiency it brings to your YouTube experience. Happy summarizing!
