The record

Purpose: YouTLDR turns YouTube videos into readable transcripts, AI summaries, and translations, and lets users ask questions about videos.
Video player tools: Its transcript, summary, timeline, and chat features are tied to video playback, with clickable transcript lines and timestamped summary points.
Language support: The product says it supports transcription and translation in 125+ languages.
Repurposing: Pro includes tools to turn videos into blog posts, LinkedIn articles, Twitter threads, and PowerPoint outlines.
Eligibility: YouTLDR says it works with public YouTube videos that have captions or audio available, including auto-generated captions, and also supports uploading audio or video files.
Free access limit: Public transcript pages remain available to browse, but processing a video requires an active Pro subscription.
Browser extension: The Chrome extension adds transcripts, summaries, timeline, and chat in a YouTube side panel; it is free to install, but processing requires Pro.
Extension limitation: The extension works on standard YouTube watch pages and supports Shorts and live streams when captions are available; YouTube Music is not supported.
API: The transcript API is in private beta with manually approved access and returns timestamped transcript data as JSON.
API limit: The private-beta API supports videos up to five hours long and charges no credits when a job cannot return a usable transcript.
Local uploads: The upload tool transcribes or translates selected audio locally in the browser without uploading the audio file to YouTLDR or an AI inference service.
Security and data handling: YouTLDR says it uses HTTPS in transit, authenticated account access, and database access controls; submitted transcripts, video information, and prompts may be sent to AI providers to generate results.
Support: The contact page says messages are not handled by a chatbot or live customer support service and asks users to contact the team about legitimate Pro-plan questions or concerns.
Audience: The site describes YouTLDR as built for creators, students, and researchers who need verifiable answers from videos.
