What’s different
Most tools only listen. But the slide, the spreadsheet, the code and the demo are never said out loud, and that is often where the lesson is.
Transcript-only tools

Every click, setting and slide is written down, so you can follow a tutorial without pausing and rewinding.
Know what is actually happening on screen, shot by shot: the demo, the on-screen text, the hook.
Break down a video you admire and build your own version on the same structure.
Turn what you watched into fresh ideas for your own content, product or lesson.
Why VidSense
Accurate, timestamped transcripts of any video file, or a YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or X link. VidSense learns the brand names and jargon in your content, so terms come out spelled right.
Slides, charts and demos carry half the lesson. VidSense looks at the video itself and describes what appears, so the visual details make it into your notes too.
Get a summary, chapters and key insights for every video, then ask follow-up questions in plain English. Each answer points to the exact moment it came from.

How it works
Drop in a video file, a whole folder, or paste a YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or X link.

Search, ask questions, jump to moments, and download clean PDFs to keep.
Private by design
VidSense does its heaviest work inside your browser, so your recordings are never uploaded to us.

A tab on every video. One click writes a Markdown (.md) file with what the video teaches: the knowledge, step-by-step instructions, key terms, rules and example answers. Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok, or upload it to a Custom GPT, Claude Project or Gemini Gem, and that assistant can answer questions about the video like an expert.
VidSense writes the transcript in the language spoken in the video and supports dozens of languages. English gives the best accuracy.
You can browse your library, read transcripts and chat on a phone. Transcribing long videos works best on a laptop or desktop.
No. Transcription runs inside your browser, so your video files are never uploaded to us. AI features send only the transcript (and, for What’s on Screen, a set of still frames) to Claude, the AI model from Anthropic.
Yes. Download any transcript as a PDF, plain text or subtitles, and save the “What’s on Screen” notes as a PDF to keep or share.
Both. Besides the transcript, What’s on Screen describes the slides, on-screen text, charts, code and demos shown in the video, so you can ask about what was shown, not only what was said.
Yes. Add a whole course folder and VidSense transcribes every video in one go, then keeps them all in your library.
Search every word of the transcript, or just ask a question in the chat. Each answer points to the exact moment it came from, and clicking any line jumps the video straight there.
