Compare YouTube To Text vs NoteGPT
Why These Two?
Both Chrome extensions pull captions from any public YouTube video; what you can do with that text is where they differ.
YouTube To Text
- One click → full transcript beside the player
- Instant keyword search inside the text
- Ai Summary
- 99+ languages support
NoteGPT — Snapshot
- Produces a transcript, but the “ChatGPT‑style” summary can feel generic and sometimes skips key details.
- Highlighting is available, yet auto‑save isn’t always reliable, and timestamps can drift on longer videos.
- Exports to Markdown, Notion, or Obsidian work, but the formatting often needs manual cleanup afterward.
- Freemium pricing means batch summaries and mind‑maps sit behind a fairly steep paywall—and the mind‑maps themselves are pretty basic.
