YouTLDR is a tool that generates live transcripts, AI summaries with timestamped evidence, and one-click repurposing of YouTube videos into formats like blog posts, LinkedIn posts, X threads, slide decks, chapter lists, or Shorts ideas. It supports over 125 languages.
Transcripts feature a live cursor that follows playback, and users can click any line to seek. Summaries include key points and quotables linked to the exact video moment. A timeline places markers on YouTube's progress bar, and a chat feature allows users to ask questions about the video using the full transcript as context.
A Chrome extension is available, providing transcripts, summaries, timelines, and chat in a side panel on any YouTube watch page. The extension includes live-sync to playback and 125+ language translation.
The tool is used by content creators, students, and researchers. Free tools are available for repurposing videos without signup, and a Pro upgrade offers full access.
