Frequently Asked Questions
What types of YouTube videos work with SeeRead?
SeeRead works with any YouTube video that has captions or auto-generated subtitles. This includes tutorials, lectures, podcasts, interviews, documentaries, TED talks, and most educational content. Videos without any transcript are not supported.
Is there a video length limit for YouTube to infographic?
SeeRead can process YouTube videos up to 3 hours in length. For very long videos, the AI intelligently identifies and focuses on the most important segments based on your selected lens type.
How accurate is the YouTube transcript extraction?
SeeRead uses YouTube's official transcript API, so accuracy depends on the video's captions. Manual captions are highly accurate. Auto-generated captions are typically 90-95% accurate for clear English speech.
Can I create infographics from YouTube Shorts?
Yes! SeeRead works with YouTube Shorts that have captions. Just navigate to the Short in your browser and click the SeeRead extension. The same process works for regular videos and Shorts.
Does SeeRead work with private or unlisted YouTube videos?
SeeRead can only access videos that are publicly available or unlisted videos you have access to. Private videos cannot be processed as their transcripts are not accessible.
