This free one writes the whole post, not just an outline, from only what the video says. Every quote is checked word for word against the captions, and each section links to its moment in the video.

I built it so a video doesn't have to stay a video... and so the post never says something the video didn't.

• Paste a video link and get every point the video makes as notes, each with the time it's said.
• Edit the notes, then get a full post of about 800 to 2,000 words, written only from them.
• Quotes stay only when the speaker said them word for word, and numbers the video never says get flagged.
• It's free, in 75 languages, with no sign-up.

It sits between two other tools of mine. The YouTube transcript generator gives you every word as it was said, and the YouTube video summarizer gives you the short version.

A blog post is neither of those. It keeps the video's ideas and examples, but it's written to be read, in the order a reader needs them.

Paste the video's link and press Read video Read the notes: every point the video makes, each with the time it's said Delete or fix any line, since the post uses only these notes Pick the voice, the tone, the language and the length Press Write the blog post and read it with its checks Copy it for Google Docs or WordPress, or as Markdown

• The notes – every point the video makes, in order, each with the time it's said. They're the only facts the post may use, so fix a misheard name here.

Want to see a result before you paste your own? Press the example under the link box, and the page fills in the run from the next section, the whole post included.

Step | What it made The captions | 3,684 spoken words, read in 3 parts The notes | 55 points with their times, plus 8 quotes checked against the captions The post | 1,561 words, 7 sections and 6 FAQs Quotes in the post | 5, each one word for word from the video Moments linked | 11 points that open the video at the second they're said Numbers | 7 of 8 found in the video

The one number it flagged was "$7", from the post's "$5-$7 k". The video says sponsors pay $5,000 to $7,000 a slot, so the flag pointed straight at the line to fix.

• The video checks – how many quotes match the video word for word, and how many of the post's numbers the video really says.
• The numbers to check – anything the post says that the video doesn't, listed before you publish.

The fact check fixed a heading that said "Submask" instead of Substack. It also kept Tim Ferriss's 5-Bullet Friday with Tim Ferriss.

That second one matters. In an early test, a post written in Ali's voice claimed Tim's newsletter as Ali's own, and that's exactly what the fact check is there to stop.

The post scored 12 of 14 checks against the best blog posts and read 83 out of 100 for sounding human. Its paragraphs ran long, 28 words where the best posts keep about 22.

Step | What happens Read | The video's own captions on YouTube, or speech to text for videos from the other apps, up to 5 minutes Notes | Every point, step, number and name the speaker gives, in order, each with its time Plan | Sections in the video's order, following its chapters when it has them Write | Each section from the notes for its own stretch of the video, so sections don't repeat each other Fact check | A second pass puts each story back with its person and cuts what the video doesn't say Quotes | Kept only when the words are in the captions, minus the ums Numbers | Each one looked for in the captions, and the ones the video never says listed for you Times | Each section links to its moment on YouTube

Then the post gets the same scoring as my AI article writer: intro length, takeaways, sections, FAQ and how human it reads.

So the notes are the only facts the post may use. When the video doesn't cover something, the post leaves it out instead of guessing.

Names need a second look, because captions mishear them. YouTube's own help page says automatic captions "might misrepresent the spoken content due to mispronunciations, accents, dialects, or background noise."

That's why the notes come first. Fix a misheard name once, before the post is written, and it's right everywhere.

Kind of video | How the post comes out A how-to or explainer | The best fit: its steps and examples map straight to sections An interview or podcast | Good: pick They and check the names in the notes A screen tutorial | Good, but add screenshots of what the video shows A vlog | Thin, since little is said to write from Music or b-roll | Nothing to read, so no post

Length matters too. A short video makes a short post, however long you ask for, because the post can't run much past 70% of the words spoken.

• Voice – I for your own video, They for someone else's (written about them by name), or We for a team's.
• Tone – 24 tones, from friendly to storytelling.
• Language – 75 languages, and the post doesn't have to match the video's.
• Length – about 800, 1,200 or 2,000 words, as far as the video can carry it.

Writing from someone else's video? Use They, link the video, and quote only what the notes' quotes say.

Skip it for videos built on visuals or trends. A post from those reads thin, and a thin page does nothing for your site.

No blog yet? My guide on how to start a blog walks through the setup, and how to make money blogging covers what comes after.

• Read it once, top to bottom – change anything that doesn't sound like you.
• Check the flagged numbers and names – the note under the checks lists what the video never says.
• Add what the video showed – a screenshot wherever you demo something.
• Sharpen the title – test it with the headline analyzer.
• Write the title tag and description – the meta title generator and the meta description generator measure both where Google cuts them.
• Keep the video in it – the link under the key takeaways becomes the player.

Then read it once more for AI tells with the AI slop checker before it goes live.

Your video is the original content here, and the converter adds the structure.

Google also warns that "using generative AI tools or other similar tools to generate many pages without adding value for users may violate Google's spam policy on scaled content abuse."

So turn the videos that say something into posts, and add what only you know before you hit publish.

WordPress's own docs put it this way: "Using the generic Embed Block, you can paste the URL from the third-party site that you want to embed the content such as YouTube."

It also has a YouTube Embed block that works the same way.

• What's on screen – demos, charts and slides, so add screenshots.
• Tone of voice – a joke can read flat, so cut it or keep it as a quote.
• Pace – the post follows the video's order, so a rambling video makes a rambling plan unless you edit the notes first.

The links to each moment give some of it back. A reader who wants the demo can jump straight to it.

• YouTube transcript generator – creators who want every word, with times, as a file
• Blog to social posts – anyone turning the finished post into posts for X, LinkedIn and Threads
• AI article writer – writers starting from a topic instead of a video
• YouTube timestamp generator – creators adding chapters to the video itself

Start with the video, then let the post work in search while the video works on YouTube.

This one writes the whole post from only what the video says, and checks every quote against the captions.

Each person can make 10 posts a day.

It also stops bots from using it all up.

Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to write the post from the same instructions.

Those are read with speech to text, up to 5 minutes long.

When a creator turned them off, there's nothing to read, and the tool says so.

Videos from the other apps can be up to 5 minutes.

Quotes are checked word for word, and numbers the video never says are listed for you to check.

Link the video and quote only what they said, since passing off their ideas as yours would be plagiarism.

If that's YouTube, this converter turns each video into a post, so you end up with both.

The post from this converter already has the link on its own line, under the key takeaways.
