Steps to Transcribe and Summarize Academic Talks

Upload or Enter the YouTube URL

Log in to your Tifi account and select the YouTube video summarizer tool. Paste the URL of the academic talk or upload the video file directly from your device.

Select Transcript and Summary Options

You can choose to:

• Transcribe the video: Tifi will create a verbatim transcript.
• Generate a summary: Tifi will condense the academic talk into a short, medium, or detailed summary.

Click “Generate”

Once your options are set, click “Generate” to allow Tifi’s AI to process the video.

Reviewing and Exporting Academic Summaries and Transcripts

Review the Transcript and Summary

Once Tifi completes the process, you can review both the transcript and the summary to ensure accuracy. This allows you to quickly identify the key points of the talk.

Export in Your Preferred Format

You can export the transcript and summary as a PDF or DOC file for future reference or to share with colleagues.

Why This Matters for Researchers

• Transcriptions provide a verbatim record of academic talks.
• Summaries allow you to quickly understand key points without rewatching the entire video. Tifi’s ability to convert YouTube videos to text and summaries simultaneously makes it an essential tool for academic research.
