8 AI Apps That Actually Save You Time – Computerworld

7. Summary.tech

If you’ve got YouTube on your to-do list and don’t have the time or patience to sit down and watch an entire work-related video – perhaps a presentation, a corporate speech marathon, or maybe a boring-as-never-before board meeting – a great site called Summarize.tech will make it instantly easier you life.

Summarize.tech takes any YouTube link you give it and generates an on-demand transcript of the entire clip in seconds. It breaks the video into broadly summarized sections and lets you click on any section to expand it and dive into deeper, more detailed summaries. It can even download videos in other languages, including Spanish and French, and then translate them and then summarize them in English.

8. AudioPen

Finally, if you often take notes on the go, the AI-powered AudioPen app will be a hard tool to beat.

AudioPen is a sort of dumping ground for all your passing thoughts. Whenever something comes to mind – an idea for a client proposal, a potential project for your company’s upcoming quarter, or anything else you can imagine – you simply hit the service’s record button and keep babbling away.

AudioPen stores complete audio recordings of your ramblings and creates near-instantaneous plain-text summaries of everything you say, automatically removing filler words and repetitions. Every single recording becomes a note in your virtual notebook. You can search text, translate it into another language, and interact with it in many potentially useful ways.

AudioPen is free and allows for recordings up to three minutes long and storing up to 10 notes at a time. An optional premium plan for $99 per year (or $159 for two years) eliminates these limitations and adds a ton of extra features, including customizable summary styles, summaries in different many notes and a simple sharing system for any notes you want to make public.
