Is this the same as Recall (recall.it / getrecall)?

No. YS Summarizer is an independent paste-a-link YouTube summarizer and is not affiliated with Recall.

Are you comparing to recall.ai (meeting API)?

No. This page compares workflows to Recall’s YouTube knowledge-base / extension product (recall.it / getrecall), not the recall.ai meeting API.

Do you have an extension, knowledge base, quizzes, or spaced repetition?

No. We only produce caption-based summaries. Prefer Recall (or similar) when you need that suite.

Are there clickable timestamps?

No. Jump in the original video when you need a moment.

How long can a video be?

Single public videos with captions; a common practical limit is about 90 minutes. We do not promise multi-hour library ingest.

Recall YouTube summarizer: paste-a-link notes without a knowledge-base suite

Searches for “Recall YouTube summarizer,” “Recall AI YouTube summarizer,” or “getrecall YouTube” often describe Recall (recall.it / getrecall)—a knowledge-base + extension product with quizzes and spaced repetition. YS Summarizer below is a different path: paste a public YouTube link in any browser for Key Takeaways, Connected Ideas, Structured Summary, or Detailed Article from available captions. We do not offer a browser extension, cross-video knowledge base, quizzes, spaced repetition, or clickable timestamps. Common single-video length is about 90 minutes—we do not match claims of much longer uploads. We are not Recall and are not affiliated with Recall. This page is not about recall.ai (the meeting/bot API brand).

Recall (recall.it / getrecall) vs paste-a-link web notes

Recall is commonly associated with saving YouTube into a personal knowledge base via extension/app flows, often with quizzes or spaced repetition. That fits ongoing library building. YS Summarizer stays narrow: one public link → caption-based summary styles you can copy. Choose Recall when you want that KB + extension suite; choose this tool for a fast paste-a-link summary without installing an extension.

Not recall.ai — and honest product limits

Do not confuse Recall (recall.it / getrecall) with recall.ai, a different meeting/API brand. YS Summarizer has no meeting bot, no extension, no cross-video KB, no quizzes/spaced repetition, and no clickable timestamps. Summaries depend on usable captions; very long videos often hit a ~90-minute practical limit on this site.
