Questions, answered

Is the YouTube summarizer free?

Yes: your first summary is free with no sign-up. Create a free account to summarize more, save them, and unlock captions, subtitles and repurposing.

How does it summarize a video?

Welto reads the video's existing caption track, then uses AI to produce a faithful overview and key points. Because it reads captions directly, most videos summarize in under a minute.

Can it summarize in other languages?

Yes. It summarizes in the transcript's language and can translate summaries into 50+ languages.

What if a video has no captions?

A few videos ship without a caption track. For those, and for your own uploads, Welto can transcribe the audio directly inside the app.

Do more than summarize

Captions, subtitles, translations, and one-click repurposing to every channel, all from the same transcript.
