YouTube to text: turn a YouTube video into AI-ready notes
Paste a public YouTube URL and Video2Skill does the rest — no downloading, no editing software. You get clean, timestamped text an AI can actually work with.
Choose a quick transcript, or the full skill.md that also captures what appears on screen.
From link to knowledge in one step
Video2Skill fetches the video, transcribes it with timestamps, reads the on-screen text and, in full mode, analyzes each key moment — then hands you a single file.
