Terms of use

Effective November 13, 2026

These terms apply when you use the Video Reader Chrome extension and its online service ("Video Reader"), made by Future Computing Systems Inc., Ontario, Canada ("we"). By creating an account or using Video Reader you agree to them. Questions: videoreader@futurecompute.com.

The service

Video Reader makes full texts (transcripts) and summaries of YouTube videos, using the videos' captions or, where there are none, an AI model that listens to the video. Results can contain mistakes, especially when made from audio or translated. Check anything important against the video itself.

Your account

• You need an account with a confirmed email address, or a Google account.
• One account per person. Keep your password private; you're responsible for what happens in your account.
• You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live.

Free calls and limits

• Each new account gets 100 free calls. A full text or a summary in one language is one call. Opening a result again from your History is free.
• Free calls work for videos up to 60 minutes long, and there is a daily limit. A call that fails is not counted.
• We may change these limits. When the free calls are used up, paid calls may be offered later under terms shown before you pay.

Fair use

Don't:

• use Video Reader to break the law, YouTube's terms, or other people's rights;
• collect results automatically, resell the service, or create accounts to get extra free calls;
• try to get around limits, overload the service, or get into parts of it you're not allowed to.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

Videos and results

Videos belong to their creators. Results are for your personal use, such as reading, studying and taking notes. Respect the creators' rights if you share or publish anything made from their videos. Results are stored and may be shown to other users who ask about the same video, without any link to you.

YouTube and Google

Video Reader uses YouTube API Services. By using it you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Video Reader is not made or endorsed by YouTube or Google.

No warranty

Video Reader is provided "as is". We work to keep it running and accurate, but we don't promise it will always be available, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. We may change or stop the service.

Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for decisions made based on results. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or CAD $10 if you paid nothing.

Ending

You can stop using Video Reader and ask us to delete your account at any time. See the privacy policy.

Changes and law

If we change these terms, we'll update the date above and tell you about important changes. These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
