What languages does Summify support?

Summify supports 130+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and many more.

How does the translation work?

Summify extracts the transcript in the original language, then uses AI to produce a summary. You can get the summary in the original language or request translation to your preferred language.

Is the translation accurate?

Summify uses state-of-the-art AI models for translation. Quality is comparable to professional translation services for most content types, especially educational and informational videos.

Can I see the original transcript alongside the translation?

Yes. The full original-language transcript is always available. This makes Summify a great tool for language learners who want to read the original while understanding the content.

Does it work with videos that have no subtitles in my language?

Yes, Summify does not rely on YouTube's built-in subtitle translations, which are often inaccurate or unavailable for many language pairs. Instead, Summify extracts the original transcript from the video's primary caption track and performs its own AI-powered translation. This means it works even when YouTube doesn't offer subtitles in your target language. The translation quality is significantly better than YouTube's auto-translate feature because Summify processes complete sentences and paragraphs with full context, rather than translating caption fragments individually. This approach also allows Summify to produce coherent summaries in the target language, not just word-for-word translations, making the output far more useful for understanding the content.
