How does CuteNote summarize a YouTube video?
CuteNote extracts available captions or transcribes supported audio, then organizes that source text into your chosen note format. The summary is based on the words, so revisit the video for visual demonstrations and on-screen details.
Can I summarize a video without subtitles?
The processing pipeline can attempt audio transcription when captions are unavailable. The video must be accessible; restricted or unavailable videos may not produce a note.
Can I read the transcript and ask questions?
Yes. A completed note includes its extracted source text in the Transcript view. AI chat uses the source content to help you explore points beyond the summary.
Can I save a mind map or Markdown file?
Choose a mind map or detailed Markdown when generating. Mind maps and visual notes can be exported as PNG images, and Markdown can be downloaded as a .md file. Additional formats can be generated from a note when available.
Do I need an account?
You can browse examples without signing in. Sign in to generate and keep your own notes. Available formats, video duration, and usage allowances depend on your account; see Pricing for current plans.
