Common questions
Does it work on videos without captions?
Yes. When a video has no captions, Notelify falls back to Whisper AI — OpenAI's best-in-class audio transcription model. The result is nearly as accurate as a human transcription.
How accurate is the transcript?
For captioned videos, accuracy is essentially 100% — we extract the caption track the creator published. For AI transcription (Whisper), accuracy is typically 95%+ for clear speech in major languages.
Can I download the full transcript?
Yes — click the download button in the transcript viewer to get a plain TXT file with all lines and timestamps. All plans include download.
What languages does it support?
Any language a YouTube creator has added captions in. For AI transcription, Whisper supports 40+ languages including English, Spanish, Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, French, German, and Japanese.
Can I turn the transcript into notes too?
Absolutely — that's Notelify's core feature. Once the transcript is ready, one click generates structured notes, flashcards, a quiz, and a mind map from the same content.
