Everything Libraryminds Can Do
One idea runs through every feature: the knowledge inside video should be as easy to search as text on the web.

How to Transcribe Video to Text & Voice Recording to Transcript (AI)
Semantic Video Search — find answers, not just videos
Keyword search breaks the moment you forget the exact words. Semantic search understands meaning, so you ask a real question and get the exact moment as your answer — like searching for "motivation to push through difficulty" and surfacing the segment about "staying consistent when it gets hard."
It works across all your videos at once — like Ctrl+F for your entire library. Every result is linked to the video: click any moment in the text to jump directly to that exact point, no scrubbing through timelines.
Toggle between Keyword and AI Semantic mode inside any transcript view. Keyword search is available after indexing. Semantic search becomes available after background embeddings are generated; processing time varies.
How AI Semantic Search works
Transcript paragraphs are embedded automatically after transcription completes
Your query is converted to a vector at search time
Results are ranked by semantic closeness — meaning over matching
Timestamps preserved — click any result to jump to that exact moment
Use keyword search while background embeddings are not ready
AI Summaries, Chapters & Flashcards — long video, made short
Auto-condense any video into a summary, split it into chapters, and generate flashcards for revision. Scan the key points instead of rewatching the whole recording.
Summaries, chapters, and flashcards are generated from the transcript — with timestamps, so you can jump back to the source moment and check the full context.
What gets generated automatically
AI summary — key takeaways and structured overview of the whole video
Chapters — the video split into navigable, timestamped sections
Flashcards — question-and-answer cards for revision, straight from the content
Everything linked back to exact moments in the video
AI Transcription for Searchable Recordings
AI transcription turns spoken recordings into searchable transcripts — podcasts, lectures, webinars, and meetings.
Results vary with recording quality, background noise, accents, overlapping speech, and specialist vocabulary. Review important wording against the source.

Team Workspaces
On the Business plan, create named workspaces to organise transcriptions by project, client, or team. Invite collaborators by email, assign owner or member roles, and share your completed transcriptions with the right people.
A researcher can share interview recordings with a co-author. A content team can keep all podcast transcripts in one workspace. Each member accesses only what's been shared with them — nothing else.
How workspaces work
Create a workspace — name it by project, team, or client
Invite members by email — owner or member roles
Add any of your completed transcriptions to a workspace
All members can view and search shared transcriptions
Public Sharing — share what you capture
On Plus and higher plans, turn a transcript into a public link for teams, study groups, or audiences — no login required for the reader. They can read the full text and search it without needing an account.
Public transcripts stay under your control. You decide what's public and what's private. Toggle sharing on or off at any time from the transcript view.
How public sharing works
Enable sharing from the transcript view — get a unique public URL
Readers can read and search the full transcript — no account needed
Share with students, clients, collaborators, or your audience
Toggle public access off at any time — you stay in control
Turn Any Transcript into Content
Every completed transcript has a Create tab — a set of tools that transforms your video content into formats you can immediately publish or share.
Twitter / X Post
Turn a key moment or quote from your video into a shareable tweet — with hashtags and source link.
LinkedIn Post
Repurpose your video insight into a professional LinkedIn update, ready to copy and post.
Transcript Summaries
Review implemented transcript summaries to identify key points for your own publishing workflow.
Flashcard Set
Generate study flashcards from the video content — each card is a question and answer generated from the transcript.
Timestamped Quote
Pull any quote from your transcript with its exact timestamp and source URL — ready to cite or share.
Chapter-based Metadata
Generate titles, descriptions, and hashtags for a specific time range — useful for clip publishing and repurposing.
Show Notes & YouTube Chapters
One click generates a complete set of blog-ready show notes and timestamped YouTube chapter markers — paste straight into your video description.
Citation Generator

Ask My Library
Ask a question and get an AI-synthesised answer based on your transcript library — not just a single video. Ask My Library searches semantically across everything you've ever transcribed, reasons about what it found, identifies gaps, and searches again before returning an answer with timestamps so you can check it against the source. Basic access on Plus. Full multi-step research mode on Pro.
"What were the main themes discussed across my research interviews?" — Libraryminds searches your library, surfaces relevant moments across your videos, and synthesises an answer with sources.
What Ask My Library can do
Ask questions across your entire video library — not just one video
Semantic search finds relevant moments even without exact word matches
Get a synthesised answer with citations from your own transcripts
Timestamps and source links let you check answers against the source
Multi-step research mode — searches, reasons about gaps, and searches again for deeper cited answers (Pro)
Contradiction Engine & Research Sessions
Advanced research tools for power users. Compare transcripts for conflicting claims, organise multi-source research into named sessions, and annotate with colour-coded margin notes.
Contradiction Engine
Detect conflicts between sources, review the full history of past analyses, and resolve contradictions with a written note. Available on Pro plans.
Research Sessions
Group related transcripts into named research sessions. Organise your video library by project, topic, or research question — not just by upload date.
Margin Notes
Add colour-coded inline notes to any transcript segment. Notes are anchored to the exact timestamp and stay visible every time you review that transcript.
Argument Map
Extracts claims from your Research Session transcripts and draws the logical connections — which ideas support, contradict, or elaborate on each other — as an interactive visual graph. Available on Pro plans.
Contradiction History
Every contradiction analysis is saved as a permanent record. Review past conflicts, see areas of agreement, and resolve contradictions with a written note. Available on Pro plans.
Knowledge Decay Tracking
Learning fades. Libraryminds tracks which videos you haven't revisited in a while and surfaces them before the knowledge disappears — so your library stays alive, not archived.
Knowledge Decay uses your view history to score content by how at-risk it is of being forgotten. Your most important knowledge stays visible. Videos you've neglected are flagged to review — before it's too late to remember what they contained.
How Knowledge Decay works
Tracks which transcripts you haven't revisited recently
Scores each video by how at-risk the knowledge is of fading
Surfaces at-risk content in your dashboard before it's forgotten
Pairs with Flashcard Review for active spaced repetition
Podcast RSS Feed
Turn your entire transcript library into a subscribable RSS 2.0 feed. Every completed transcript becomes a feed entry — with title, summary, and publication date. Subscribe from any RSS reader or aggregator.
Each feed is generated with a secure, HMAC-signed URL unique to your account. Enable or disable sharing from your settings at any time. Ideal for podcasters who want their back-catalogue searchable and subscribable.
What the RSS feed includes
Every completed transcript as a feed entry with title and summary
HMAC-signed feed URL — secure and unique to your account
Standard RSS 2.0 format — works with any RSS reader or aggregator
Enable or disable the feed anytime from your settings
Business Workspace
Built for teams that need more than a personal library. Business plans bring shared credits, seat-based billing, the AI Meeting Bot, and workspace access controls — all in one shared workspace.
AI Meeting Bot
Provide an eligible Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams link. The bot attempts to join at the scheduled time; recording, transcription, and summary delivery depend on meeting and processing conditions.
Shared Credit Pool
The whole team draws from one credit pool. No per-seat transcription limits — the workspace admin manages the shared pool and sees workspace usage from the workspace dashboard.
Seat-Based Billing
Buy additional seats as your team grows (₹329 per seat per month; 5 seats included). Owner and Member roles control who can invite, share, and administer the workspace.
Shared Transcript Library
Transcripts added to the workspace are available to members according to workspace permissions — not just the person who uploaded them. The whole team can search, read, and annotate the same content.
Enterprise Security
Signed webhooks, protected API credentials, session safeguards, and workspace access isolation. Members only see content available to them through workspace permissions.
Advanced Features Included
Business includes Ask My Library, transcript translation, public sharing, speaker diarization, webhooks, margin notes, Knowledge Decay tracking, the HTTP Ingest API, and the Developer API.
