## Frequently asked questions

**What is the best AI YouTube summarizer for students?**

For turning lectures into notes you can study from, we recommend Notedly: paste a YouTube link and get standard, Cornell or outline notes. Long videos with captions work, and short videos without captions are transcribed by AI. Your first summary is free with no account.

**Is there a free YouTube summarizer with no sign-up?**

Yes. Notedly's YouTube summarizer gives you your first summary without an account. After that, a free account includes 10,000 words a month.

**Can AI summarize a YouTube video that has no captions?**

Some tools can't: Gemini Notebook only imports public YouTube videos with captions. Notedly transcribes short videos without captions with AI, then writes your notes.

**Can AI summarize a 2-hour lecture?**

Yes, if the video has captions. Notedly has no length cap for captioned videos. Long lectures use more of your monthly words, so a semester of them fits best on Premium (500,000 words a month).
