# Fewwords

> Fewwords (fewwords.app) turns articles, YouTube videos up to 3 hours, and Reddit threads into short, useful summaries.

Fewwords is a web app for people who want the main points of a long piece of content. You paste a link. The app gives you a summary. It saves you from reading thousands of words or watching a two hour video. 

The app actually reads the content and decides what format works best. A research paper gets a different summary than an opinion blog. It uses specific formats like a Structured overview, a Data Shot for facts, or a Decision Brief. 

## Core features

- Summarizes articles from any public URL.
- Summarizes YouTube videos from 5 minutes up to 3 hours long.
- Summarizes Reddit threads to pull out the main arguments.
- Processes short content fast. Long videos run in the background and take a few minutes.

## YouTube video processing

For YouTube videos, the app runs a deep analysis.
1. It grabs the video transcript and details.
2. It decides if the video is actually worth your time.
3. It creates a summary based on the video length. It has a specific process for short videos under 20 minutes, and a heavy duty process for videos up to 3 hours. 

Note: It skips YouTube Shorts.
