Save YouTube videos as searchable transcripts.
When a video has public captions, LinkWise turns it into a timestamped transcript you can search, ask with citations, and export—alongside your saved articles.
Public captions required · no signup for the /try preview

Evidence from the product
Real LinkWise YouTube reading and Ask UI.
What this is—and is not
LinkWise is not a YouTube downloader or offline video archive. It is a knowledge path for tutorials and talks you want to reuse later.
- Works when public captions are available; blocked or caption-less videos stay as link cards.
- Transcripts sit next to article saves in one library—not a separate video app.
- Pro unlocks unlimited public-caption processing and cited Ask across your library.
