| Fact | Synop | yTeaser |
|---|---|---|
| Languages | The official site says users can summarize and chat with videos in over 12 languages. | It detects the video's language, summarizes in that language, and automatically translates non-English videos into English. |
| Privacy | The project says summaries and notes are stored in a local SQLite database, there is no Synop server, and AI keys are stored in browser local storage and sent to the selected provider per request. | The privacy policy says the web app and extension process the submitted YouTube URL and do not collect, store, or share personal data. |
| Purpose | Synop turns long YouTube videos into short, high-signal summaries tailored to students, researchers, or creators. | yTeaser accepts a YouTube link and returns an AI summary with key points. |
Synop suits students, researchers or analysts, and creators or writers who work with YouTube material. It also suits people comfortable with self-hosting and providing an AI API key.
It suits viewers who want quick YouTube takeaways, multilingual summaries, or inline results while browsing. Developers can use the API, while teams should note that Slack integration is still awaiting approval.
