What it does
Paste a URL. It transcribes with metadata and builds citation-ready references in four styles, plus a few timestamped snippet quotes with deep-links and in-text citations. No AI — deterministic, one transcript credit.
How it works
- 1You paste a video URL.
- 2It reads the video's title and channel.
- 3It builds APA, MLA, Chicago, and BibTeX citations.
- 4You get timestamped snippet quotes to drop into a paper.
What you'll need
