How it works

  1. Open a video

    Go to a YouTube video that has captions. Auto-generated captions work too.

  2. Click Scoop

    The panel opens next to the video with the summary, chapters and transcript.

  3. Jump to what matters

    Click any timestamp, line or chapter to go straight to that part of the video.

Scoop Chapters tab listing titled chapters with thumbnails, for a video whose creator added none.

Private and simple

Scoop has no ads and runs in your browser. Your transcript is read from the captions that YouTube already loads. When you ask for an AI answer, the transcript is sent to our server for that reply. Usage statistics are anonymous, and you can turn them off in the panel settings. Read our privacy policy for the details.

Questions

Is Scoop really free?

Yes. Scoop is free to use. Transcripts and exports are not capped.

Do I need to sign in?

No. You do not need to sign in to start. Scoop works as soon as you install it.

Does it work on every video?

No. Scoop needs captions, including auto-generated captions. If a video has none, Scoop tells you clearly.

How many free AI answers do I get?

You get a daily number of free AI answers a day. Summaries and questions share the same count, and it starts again the next day. The panel shows how many are left.

Can I use Scoop on a long video?

Yes, the transcript works on long videos. We tested a podcast that was more than four hours. Free AI answers are not available on extremely long videos.
