Does TubeWords work with any YouTube video?

TubeWords works with any public YouTube video. The summary format adapts to the content type — a movie review video gets a list of films, a music video gets a list of songs, a top-10 gets a ranked list, a news clip gets headline bullets, and a documentary gets key takeaways.

How can I use TubeWords directly from YouTube?

Simply replace 'youtube.com' with 'tubewords.com' in any YouTube video URL. For example, change https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID to https://www.tubewords.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID and the summary will be generated automatically.

Why is the summary inaccurate or missing?

Summary quality depends on how rich the video's public information is — title, description, chapters, tags. Videos with detailed descriptions or chapter markers produce the most accurate summaries.
