What this site does

YTStudio lets you paste a YouTube link to read its transcript, summarise it, and turn text into speech. You don't need an account.

Links you paste. These are used to fetch the video's details and captions. They are kept in memory for up to 30 minutes, to save repeat lookups, and are not stored after that.
Technical data. Your IP address is used briefly to apply fair-use rate limits and is discarded within an hour.
Your API keys (optional). If you add Anthropic or ElevenLabs keys, they are stored only in your own browser (localStorage). They are sent with your own requests so those services can process them, and they are never saved on our server. You can remove them at any time with "Forget my keys".
Text and audio you process. Transcripts, summaries and voiceovers are created when you ask for them and are not kept on our server. If you use your own keys, the relevant text or audio is sent to Anthropic or ElevenLabs under their privacy policies.
Preferences. A few settings, such as your chosen summary engine, are saved in your browser.
