The Steam Turbine: The Surprising Relationship of Engineering & Science
One transcript. Six points of view.
Same video, six ways to read it. Switch between angles in one click.
ELI5
Plain language, short sentences, no jargon. Best for unfamiliar topics or when your brain is at 30%.
Deep dive
Longer, more structural. Sections, sub-points, the argument laid out. Best for lectures and long essays.
Actions
Strips out the talk and surfaces what to actually do. Best for tutorials, advice videos, and how-tos.
Quotes
The strongest lines, with timestamps. Best for interviews, talks, and anything you might want to cite later.
Skeptic
What's missing, what's overclaimed, what would change your mind. Best for opinion videos and pitches.
Web-grounded tools that adapt to the video.
One chip in the panel that picks one of two paths based on what you're watching. On most videos it fact-checks claims against the web; on music it surfaces song context. Pro feature.
Fact-check
· most videosPicks the most contestable claims, verifies each against authoritative sources, and shows the verdicts inline with the source link.
Song context
· music videosFor tracks and music videos, surfaces the artist, the era, what the song's about, and where it sits in their catalogue. The line you used to look up after the song ended.
The free tier is the product.

"Reading a video means baki handles its transcript. That's the bargain. In return, we publish exactly what we keep, why, for how long, and who can see it."
