What SynthIt gives you

  • A timestamped summary: key moments linked to the exact second they happen
  • Click a timestamp, jump straight to that point in the video
  • Ask questions about the video and get answers cited to a timestamp
  • Turn the same video into flashcards, a quiz, or a study guide

How it works

  2. 2SynthIt pulls the transcript and builds a timestamped summary
  3. 3Click any citation to jump the video to that moment

Why SynthIt

Most YouTube summarizers give you a paragraph with no way to check it against the video. SynthIt cites every point to a real timestamp — click it, and the video jumps there.

Go beyond summarizing

Watching a lecture or a long tutorial? Turn it into a flashcard deck or a quiz and actually retain it, not just skim the summary once.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on any YouTube video?

Any public video with available captions or clear audio. Very long videos (multi-hour streams) may be capped depending on your plan.

Can I ask questions about a specific part of the video?

Yes — ask in the chat, and the answer cites the exact timestamp it came from.
