How it works
Unwatched.click reads the caption track that YouTube publishes for the video — no video or audio download, no re-encoding. The transcript is cleaned, then sent to an AI that writes a structured article with headings and key takeaways.
If the video has no subtitles, AI audio transcription (via Gemini) is used as a fallback — so it works on most public videos.
Choose a length: Brief (one concise paragraph per section), Medium (the default — balanced detail), or Full (in-depth coverage of every point). Switch between Fast mode (sub-30-second response) and Quality mode (the best model for nuance and structure).
Need a different language? Enable the translation toggle and pick any of 14 supported output languages. The transcript is always included alongside the article — scroll or jump to any moment in the video.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work without subtitles?
Yes. If YouTube subtitles are unavailable, the tool falls back to AI audio transcription. It works on most public videos.
What video types work best?
Talks, lectures, podcasts, interviews, tutorials — anything with clear speech. Music videos or videos without narration produce limited results.
Is it free?
Article summaries are free for everyone. Deep Analysis, Slides, and Presentation modes need a free account and spend credits — every account gets 10 free credits per day, and one-time credit packs are optional if you need more.
