Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to how TubeNotes works, what it supports, and what you can expect.

What does TubeNotes actually do?
TubeNotes turns long YouTube videos into structured, searchable notes. You get summaries, key ideas, timelines, topics, entities, citations, and highlights — all generated automatically in seconds.
Which links can I use with TubeNotes?
Currently, TubeNotes works with YouTube video links — including standard videos, Shorts, and live streams. Support for more platforms is on the roadmap.
Is TubeNotes accurate?
Accuracy depends on transcript quality, but TubeNotes uses multi-step processing — transcript cleaning, segmentation, and reasoning passes — to produce clear, reliable outputs with minimal hallucination.
How fast is it?
Most videos under two hours finish in under a minute. Longer videos take slightly more time but still complete far faster than watching or manually summarising.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. You can summarise a video immediately without signing up. Creating an account unlocks saved libraries, custom prompts, and advanced extraction tools.
Is there a free version?
Yes — a free tier lets you summarise videos and explore the tool. Pro features like custom prompts and multiple output formats are optional and upgradeable anytime.
Can I export what TubeNotes generates?
Yes. All summaries are rendered in markdown, so you can easily copy and paste them into Notion, Google Docs, or any other tool in your workflow.
Does TubeNotes support non-English videos?
TubeNotes works with any YouTube video that has a transcript available (auto-generated or manual). If the video has an English transcript, results will be best. Non-English transcript support is improving over time.
