What you get

The lines you'd circle if you were taking notes.

5-15 pull-quotes

The lines that distill an argument, deliver an insight, or land an emotional beat.

Timestamped attribution

Every quote anchored to a moment in the video. Verifiable, citable, linkable.

Speaker labeled

In interviews and panels — who said what. Crucial for accurate attribution.

Multiple format export

Plain text, Markdown, image-card-ready (one quote per card), or CSV for further use.

Questions

Honest answers.

Will the pull-quotes list 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.
