What is Peruse?
Peruse is a web app that reads a YouTube video’s public captions and writes a summary, with the full transcript available to read, copy, or download.
How do I summarize a YouTube video?
Paste the video link into the box. Peruse reads the transcript and writes a summary.
Do I need an account?
No. You can try it as a guest. An account adds history and a permanent share link. Bookmarks start on Pro.
Do I get the transcript?
Yes. You can read the transcript under the summary, and copy or download both as Markdown.
How does sharing work?
Sign in, then share the summary. The link stays up, and anyone with it can read the summary.
