YouTube to Audio: Subscribe, Summarize, and Listen Without a Screen

YouTube Without the Screen

YouTube is the world's largest library of educational content, but watching videos requires your eyes and your time. What if you could get the key insights from your favorite channels as audio you can listen to anywhere?

How It Works

1. Subscribe to YouTube channels — Add channels via RSS or the YouTube Data API in EchoLive Feeds
2. Fetch transcripts — EchoLive pulls video transcripts automatically when available
3. AI summaries — Get condensed key takeaways from each video
4. Generate audio — Convert summaries to natural-sounding audio with your preferred voice
5. Listen anywhere — Plays in the global player alongside all your other content

Best For

• Educational channels where the content is information-dense
• Conference talks and lectures you want to review
• News and commentary channels you follow for analysis
• Tech tutorials where you need the concepts, not the screen demos

The Audio Advantage

A 20-minute YouTube video becomes a 3-minute audio summary. You get the key points without the filler, the "don't forget to subscribe" reminders, or the sponsor segments.
