What is TubeTLDR?
TubeTLDR pulls transcripts from YouTube videos, SoundCloud tracks, Spotify podcasts and audio or video files, and can turn them into summaries and other formats with AI. It needs no account, which suits students and creators who want a quick text version of a video.
Where captions exist it extracts them, and otherwise it transcribes the audio with Whisper. Transcripts download as TXT, SRT, JSON or Markdown, and the AI repurposing step rewrites them as a blog post, X thread, LinkedIn post, study notes, flashcards or a quiz.
The site also includes a YouTube search so you can find a video without leaving the page, and a browser-based tool that merges two public YouTube videos into one MP4.
