Questions

Honest answers.

Will the show notes sound like me or like a robot?

RecapGPT preserves the speaker's voice in pull-quotes and writes connective prose in a neutral editorial tone. Most users tweak 10-15% before publishing — far less than starting from a raw transcript. If you want a stronger personal voice, edit the connective sentences and leave the quotes alone.

Is it really free?

Yes. You get 3 free conversions per month with no credit card required. Pro is $5.99/mo for unlimited conversions and longer videos. We don't run ads or sell your data.

What format does the output come in?

Markdown, HTML, or plain text — your choice. Works with WordPress, Ghost, Substack, Medium, Notion, Obsidian, and anything else that accepts standard text. No lock-in.

Can I convert someone else's YouTube video?

Yes, if the video is public. The output is your draft, but the underlying ideas belong to the original creator — cite them, link to the video, and don't republish verbatim. Best practice is to use AI drafts as a starting point for your own analysis or commentary, not a substitute for it.
