A transcript is more useful when the source stays close.

Plain text makes a long video easier to scan, but it can lose meaning when it is separated from the moment that produced it. AI Video Summarizer keeps each transcript segment connected to its timestamp.

Use the transcript to locate a quote, revisit an explanation, or move into a grounded summary without searching through the full timeline again.
