01How it works

  1. 1
    Paste the VOD link

    Copy the link of a past broadcast or highlight (twitch.tv/videos/…) and drop it in. Clips work too.

  2. 2
    We transcribe it

    The stream's speech becomes timestamped text. Long VODs take longer, and the page shows an estimate while you wait.

  3. 3
    Press Summarize

    You get an overview, a timeline across the whole stream with the time of each moment, and the key points, in the stream's own language.

02Frequently asked

What does the summary look like?

Three parts. Two or three sentences on what the stream was about and how it ended. A timeline of 5 to 12 moments, each starting with the time it happens, spread across the whole VOD. Then 3 to 6 key points with the names and numbers that came up.

Can it summarize a 6-hour stream?

Yes. A summary reads up to about 7 hours of a very talkative stream, and quieter streams fit more, so a 6-hour VOD is covered whole. To transcribe a VOD that long you need a plan that takes recordings of 6 hours (Growth) or 24 hours (Pro). A free account takes recordings up to 72 minutes, and a longer one comes back as a preview of its start.

How much does it cost?

A summary costs 1 credit per hour of the recording, on top of the 1 credit per hour the transcript took. A free account gets 5 credits a month, enough to try it on a short VOD. Paid plans start at $6.99 a month.

Do I need an account?

To summarize, yes: a summary is made for a transcript you own, so sign in with Google first. Without an account you can transcribe the first 30 minutes of a VOD and read it.

Does it see the gameplay or the chat?

No. It reads what was said, not what was on screen or in chat. A stream with long quiet stretches gets a thinner summary; Just Chatting, podcasts and commentary get the most out of it.

What language is the summary in?

The language of the stream. To read the stream in another language, translate the transcript into one of 16 languages.

Which VODs work?

Public past broadcasts and highlights at twitch.tv/videos/…, and clips. A VOD only for the channel's subscribers can't be fetched, and a live stream has to end first.
