CleverCaptions: Understand YouTube videos 10x faster.

Hi Product Hunt! ✌️

I'm here to share a solo project I've been working on for some time: CleverCaptions, a Chrome extension that helps you understand YouTube videos 10x faster.

A bold claim, I know — but let me explain.

Firstly, it does so with AI-generated resources like transcript summaries, key quotes and references from the video, and even chapter headings if the video doesn't have them. These are packaged in an ideal ratio of information to succinctness, and formatted for your optimal comprehension.

On top of AI assistance, CleverCaptions' other features, like the transcript reader and customizable interface, are designed to facilitate further delving into and engaging with information contained within the video.

Together, CleverCaptions' design and functions enable you to enhance your understanding of videos more completely and holistically, yet in an incredibly ergonomic and efficient manner — I'd love for you to experience it yourself.

You can try a demo by installing the CleverCaptions Chrome extension, then signing in with Google. While I unfortunately can't sustainably provide free trials due to AI costs, but for this launch on PH: For the next 24 hours only, every sign up will also get 10 hours of usage! 🤩

I'll be hanging out here for the day, so please leave me any questions, feedback, or comments you might have about CleverCaptions, I'd love to hear from you guys. Thanks!
