Video summarizer
AI video summarizer for spoken content
Hushscript is an AI video summarizer that works from the spoken transcript, not the video's visual scenes. Your video stays on your device: only prepared audio is sent for transcription, and Hushscript removes its transcription audio after processing. Preview up to 5 minutes of transcript first; after full transcription, one optional free Insights run creates summaries, key points, timestamped chapters, and a cleaned-up transcript. Later regeneration uses minutes.

How to summarize this video with AI
Hushscript summarizes a video’s spoken content from its transcript. It does not watch the frames or interpret visual-only material. First it creates the complete transcript; then you can correct the text or speaker labels before generating Insights from the current transcript version. The public preview shows up to 5 minutes of transcript only, so a summary is never inferred from a short preview.
One Insights run for summaries, key points, and more
After full transcription, one optional Insights generation creates executive, short, detailed, and structured summaries; actions, decisions, and open questions; quotes and chapters; speaker topics and subject clusters; export, title, tag, and speaker-name suggestions; terminology and profanity findings; and a fully rewritten cleaned-up transcript. The first generation uses no minutes. Regenerating a later transcript revision uses minutes, priced lower when it starts from the current cleaned-up version than from the original. Nothing summarizes a live video or recording as it happens.
Video summary and chapters you can verify
The summaries surface the main points in different levels of detail. Chapters divide the spoken content into labeled sections with timestamps, while speaker topics and subject clusters show how the discussion is distributed. The complete transcript stays alongside the generated result, so you can check wording and context instead of treating an AI summary as the source of record. The cleaned-up transcript appears in its own tab; the original remains available for comparison and editing.
The source video stays on your device
Hushscript prepares the audio track in your browser and sends only prepared audio to online speech recognition. The source video does not upload. Transcription audio is removed after processing, and stored transcript content and Insights are encrypted at rest. You can keep a transcript until you delete it or choose automatic deletion after 7, 30, 90, or 365 days.
Summarize meetings, lectures, podcasts, and interviews
Use the same transcript-backed workflow for a recorded meeting, lecture, podcast, webinar, or interview. Audio-only recordings follow the same path. Chapters can serve as a table of contents, while summaries, actions, decisions, and open questions help you review what was said. Visual-only details still need your own review. Edit the transcript in the app and use the result to prepare meeting notes, show notes, or study notes. You can preview up to 5 minutes of transcript before creating an account.

Frequently asked questions
Do summaries cost extra?
Transcription uses minutes. The first optional Insights generation uses no minutes and creates the complete result together. Regenerating later costs 40% of the recording's duration from the original transcript or 30% from the current cleaned-up version, shown before you confirm.
Does it analyze what appears on screen?
No. Hushscript summarizes the words in the transcript. It does not interpret visual scenes, slides, on-screen text, or silent action in the video.
Does it work with YouTube links?
No. Video must come from a local file; Hushscript does not import YouTube or other video URLs. Link import is available only for supported audio links.
How long or large can a file be?
A recording can run up to 10 hours. Hushscript has no fixed source-file-size limit, but browser format support, device capacity, your transcription balance, and service safeguards still apply.
Which languages can it summarize?
The summary follows the transcript. Hushscript detects and transcribes roughly 99 spoken languages; speaker detection is available across the supported transcription languages. See the Languages page for the full list.
Can I summarize audio, not just video?
Yes. Hushscript works as an AI audio summarizer for a podcast, lecture, call recording, or voice memo: transcribe it first, then run Insights on the transcript. The first Insights run is free; regenerating costs minutes. Insights run on the current transcript version, so correcting the transcript first improves the summary.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Hushscript prepares the audio track in your browser, so the source video stays on your device. Only prepared audio is sent for online speech recognition, and Hushscript removes its transcription-audio copy after processing and never trains on recordings.
Is the video summarizer free?
The transcript preview is free for up to 5 minutes, and eligible accounts get free starter minutes. Personal use is prepaid after that, while Hushscript for Teams has separate monthly or annual plans with pooled hours. The first Insights generation uses no minutes; regeneration does.
What's the difference between a summary and chapters?
A summary condenses the spoken content into an overview and key points. Chapters divide it into labeled, timestamped sections. One Insights generation creates both from the same transcript.
