So first I tried it on a video that was too long. It produced a transcript though. Which is something. But it was an easy test. I chose an episode of a television show that is uploaded to YouTube.

So I said, "fuck it", and chose a more difficult example. A video with no talking. It's just music and images. Some algodoo/Unity physics sandbox marble competition our son likes to watch.

It just gave up.

Then I was going to try another short video with talking, but apparently you only get one summary.

So, it seems like it's a way to generate transcripts of videos and have that summarized. Neat, but not exactly what's being advertised.

You can get those directly in YouTube, so not really something.

It's a shame; it said throttled on the first and second video I tried.


For those that don't know how:

1. Watch a Youtube video which has subtitles

2. Click the "..." button below the video, then "Show Transcript"

So many people don't know about this, it's crazy.


Hey, at least you got one. I tried one and it said my limit was reached.
