An Overview of Summify: Pros and Cons

Written by Joshua Anderson • Edited by Brenda Zhang


What Is Summify?

Summify is a tool that we could see being especially of benefit to those with disabilities, like members of the deaf community. Make no mistake, though. Anyone who uses this tool will have a considerably easier time note-taking.

Summify grants users a way to analyze any video or audio clip and yield helpful notes faster than ever before. It only takes a few seconds to extract information from your media.

How Does Summify Work?

Simply add a piece of media or URL link, press the "transcribe" button, and watch as Summify quickly processes, transcribes, and summarizes your media into a digestible synopsis. Summify can even divide the transcription into sections based on who is talking at the time.
