Does OneTools download the YouTube video?
No. The summarizer uses an existing transcript or caption track and does not download video or audio.
Can it summarize long YouTube videos?
Yes, within the published product limits. Long transcripts are processed in multiple bounded steps.
Are timestamps generated by AI?
No. The server validates source segment IDs and derives each displayed time from the original transcript.
Can I choose the summary language?
Yes. Keep the same language as the video or choose a supported output language.
What if a video has no transcript?
The tool cannot summarize a video when no accessible transcript is available.
Can it summarize private or age-restricted videos?
Only videos accessible to the existing transcript service can be processed.
Does it use automatic speech recognition?
No. This tool does not use Whisper or download audio; it relies on available YouTube captions.
Can I download the summary?
Yes. You can download Markdown or plain text without including the raw transcript.
Are action items always included?
No. The section appears only when the transcript genuinely contains actions.
Is the result guaranteed to be complete?
AI summaries can omit nuance. Use the timestamp links and original transcript to verify important details.
