Frequently Asked Questions

How long can my transcript or video be?

Make A Brief currently supports content up to 50,000 characters. This is typically plenty of room for a 45- to 60-minute video, sermon, or podcast episode.

Do I need to create an account to try it?

No! You can test the app without signing up. Simply paste your link or transcript, generate your brief, and see the results instantly.

Can I edit the finished brief?

Yes! While Make A Brief automatically handles the formatting and layout for you, you have full control over the final text. The Microsoft Word (.docx), "Copy to Email," and "Copy for Website" versions are editable, so you can make layout tweaks or add your own personal touch. The only format that is not editable is the PDF version.

Can I print it out?

Absolutely. Every brief is custom-engineered using a high-contrast, ink-saving layout designed to fit beautifully on standard Letter/A4 paper as a PDF. They are perfect for physical bulletin inserts, handouts, study guides, or binders.

How fast does it work?

Usually around 20 seconds. Depending on your internet service and the size of your file, it may take slightly more or less time to complete. Simply paste your video link or transcript and click generate to let the system do the work.

How much does Make A Brief cost?

Your first 2 briefs are completely free. After that, you can generate additional briefs for just $2 each. No login required. Pay only when you need a brief. No recurring fees, no account to manage.
