The summaries are good as far as they go. But they only summarize about half the video. It's not very helpful to me if it doesn't summarize the entire video. I suppose the producers of the videos object to the entire video being summarized since it would reduce views. YouTube should give them credit for a view if someone reads the summary.
Works okay on articles, but no luck getting it to work with Youtube videos. It keeps returning a message that no transcript was found. However, I confirmed that transcripts were available. I even turned on the transcript but made no difference. TLDR couldn't find it. Update: Playing around some more, I discovered that if I drag the Youtube tab out to it's own window, this extension works in the new window. Something for the devs to investigate.
It's great for videos and articles, but is absolutely dreadful with book pdf's. It will tell you the title and the word count, but not analyze a word of the actual content. Which is very frustrating, because it's quite helpful aside from that.
