Re:Chrome extension YouTube text and Web app on Thursday September 24, 2026 @12:29PM (#49833043)
Just launched our YouTube to text extension for video to text.

We have some clients with complex video to text integrations that asked for a simple chrome extension for a quick and personal use on YouTube.

if you want to support us, please leave a review.

This extension helps you save time on YouTube by grounding text answers in actual transcripts no hallucinations, just facts.

Free Access!

Thank you for your reading

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I built this YouTube/podcast to text free tool in case you want to try it and prefer reading instead of watching.

You would still have to read it in a digital screen but at least it is a black theme and a simple and clean UX/UI.

Thank you for getting back to me.

I understand your perfectly reasonable argument to make from your position (user).

First let me tell you that I saw a lot of things out there including getrecall before starting building this and felt there was nothing out there that had a good UX/UI that actually makes it a enjoyable product (nice and clean).

I’m confident in the direction and committed to seeing it through by building something better for me and maybe for you to by doing it with more care.

Appreciate your feedback and while no one can control the future I´ve added this thread to my calendar do come back here in 6months.

Hey, check this one out with all the different flavors that existed out there. I think I made something better. https://cofyt.app

As far as I am aware, feel free to test it head-to-head. This is better than gecall, and you can chat with a transcript for detailed answers to your prompts

https://cofyt.app AI Copilot for YouTube: for summaries, instant takeaways, but most importantly, chat with transcript for detailed answers grounded in the video content.

Better UX/UI than anything out there at least that I have found. Web app. Works in every browser and mobile also. Unlike your average Chrome extension.

It’s excellent for summaries but also answers your questions grounded in the video.

It’s free!

I'm not suggesting in any way that this replaces watching all YouTube videos but it could help you save some time with some types of video content and a co-pilot for others.

You can try to ask it for things to your requirements,be descriptive.

For example: - you can ask it to list topics or tags in that video.

- you can ask it for specific timecodes/ Timestamps when topic X is mentioned

- you can ask it to tell you what's happening in time blocks/Chunks of x minutes.

be descriptive and ask for the format you want: lists, bullets, list with description, etc

Thanks for the feedback.

Here is a good AI tool that you can use for free.
