Short answer: No—Gemini cannot provide a verbatim YouTube 대본 videos. What Gemini can do is connect to a YouTube link you provide and generate a summary of the video’s content, but it does not produce a line-by-line transcript or translation.
My Test Results of Gemini’s Ability to Transcribe YouTube Videos
I tested Gemini 2.5 Flash myself. I provided a YouTube link and asked Gemini to transcribe it, but it only generated a summary.
What Happens When You Give Gemini a YouTube Link?
When you paste a YouTube link into Gemini, the Gemini displays a “Connecting YouTube” icon while it fetches the video.
Once connected, Gemini analyzes the content and provides a structured summary, including key themes, highlights, and important moments. However, the output is not a direct transcription; it functions more like an overview, designed to help you quickly understand what the video is about.
Limitations: Why Gemini Doesn’t Offer Full Transcription
Gemini is not built as a classic 오디오를 텍스트로 변환 engine. Instead of extracting every spoken word, it focuses on understanding context and summarizing meaning. This makes it great for quick comprehension but not for tasks requiring word-for-word accuracy.
Using Gemini for YouTube Video Summaries
When you provide a YouTube link:
- Gemini connects to the video.
- It processes the content and identifies the main points.
- You receive a concise summary instead of a transcript.
This is useful for lectures, tutorials, or long-form discussions where you want the big picture without watching the entire video.
When You Need a Transcript Instead
If you need a full 비디오를 텍스트로 변환 transcript, the best approach is:
- Use a transcription tool like VOMO to generate the transcript from your YouTube video.
- Paste that transcript into Gemini.
- Ask Gemini to summarize, analyze, or translate it.
This workflow combines the strengths of both tools: 전사 정확도 + Gemini’s reasoning and summarization.
최종 생각
Gemini is powerful for summarizing YouTube content and making it easier to digest, but it cannot directly transcribe or translate videos word-for-word. For precise transcripts, you’ll still need a 전사 서비스 first, and then Gemini can help you turn that text into summaries, insights, and structured notes.
