About this tool

This tool has one job: find the lines in a transcript that could stand completely alone, no context needed, and pull them out verbatim. Unlike the social-clips tool, which suggests video-length segments with reasoning attached, this is a pure quote-extraction tool meant for pull-quotes in an article, a quote graphic for social media, or a newsletter callout box. Verbatim matters here — it doesn't paraphrase or tighten the language, since a misquote is worse than no quote at all when you're attributing words to a real person.

Frequently asked questions

Will the quotes be exact, word-for-word text?+

Yes, this tool is instructed to extract verbatim text rather than paraphrasing, since quote accuracy matters for attribution.

What if speaker names aren't labeled in my transcript?+

It will attribute quotes generically (e.g. "Speaker") if names aren't identifiable, or you can add labels to your transcript first for accurate attribution.

Can I use these quotes in marketing materials?+

You can, but for public-facing use featuring a named guest, it's good practice to confirm they're comfortable with the quote being used that way.
