Summarizing

What you can summarize

Videos, web pages, documents, ebooks, slides and text - and the size limits for each plan.

  • YouTube videos - any public video with captions. If a video has several caption languages, we ask Which language? first.
  • Web pages - articles, blog posts and most public pages. Pages behind a login or a paywall can't be read.

  • Presentations - .pptx, .pptm, .ppsx, .potx and .odp (old .ppt and Keynote files aren't supported - save them as .pptx first)
  • Text - choose Paste text and paste anything in

On Free, one video can be up to 60 minutes long. See Plans and allowances for the daily and weekly amounts.

A video needs a transcript (captions) to be summarized. Music videos and videos with captions turned off can't be read - see Troubleshooting.
