The transcript and the summary our tool wrote for a short NASA video — and an honest look at how good the summary is.
Get a TikTok transcript and summary →We ran a short NASA video about asteroid 2024 YR4 through our tool on 2 October 2026. It is an Instagram Reel, because NASA posts short videos there and its videos are public domain. TikTok links go through the same speech-to-text step, so a TikTok gives you the same kind of result. Here are the first lines:
This is the summary that came back with the transcript, word for word:
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a potential impact risk with Earth, particularly noted for December 22, 2032, as its impact probability increased with more data.
What it got right. The numbers match the video: 200 to 250 objects a year, and the date of December 22, 2032. It also kept the story in order: the asteroid looked harmless at first, then the risk went up as more data came in.
Where it went too far. The video says there was a chance the asteroid could hit Earth. The first key point says it may impact Earth on that date. That small change turns a story about the past into a warning about the future. Nobody in the video says that.
What that means for you. A summary is good for deciding whether a video is worth your time, or for a quick note. Before you post or repeat a claim, read the lines in the transcript it came from. The times show you where to look.
The summary is only as good as the speech. We also ran a NASA Reel that day whose transcript came back as just “Thank you.” twice. Its summary read:
The speaker expresses gratitude.
That is why, since 2 October 2026, the tool no longer shows a result like this. When it hears nothing but phrases such as “Thank you.” or “Music”, it tells you it couldn't hear anyone talking and writes no summary, and that try does not count against your limit.
One or two sentences on what the video is about, then a short list of key points. It is written automatically from the transcript and comes with every transcript.
Use it to see what a video covers. Before you repeat a claim, check it against the transcript: in our example, the summary turned "there was a chance" into "may impact".
