How it scores a window

It slides a window of the length you pick over the transcript, only starting on a sentence start or after a pause, and keeps the highest-scoring windows that do not overlap. The rules are fixed and the same ones every time, so the same transcript always gives the same list:

• Opens with a question or a direct claim: adds up to 14 points
• Questions, numbers, contrast words (but, however, actually) and emphasis words inside the window: adds points, each capped at 2 or 3 hits
• Speaking pace between 1.3 and 2.6 words a second: adds up to 12 points
• Starts and ends on a sentence end or a pause: adds 8 points each
• Length near 60 percent of the way through the range you chose: adds up to 8 points
• Filler words (um, uh, you know, I mean, kind of...) above 2 percent of the words: subtracts up to 15 points
• Pauses longer than 2 seconds inside the window: subtracts 3 points each, up to 12

What it cannot do

• It only reads text. A joke that lands on a laugh or a pause is invisible to it.
• Its score is not a prediction of views and only compares windows inside the same transcript.
• Raw auto-captions without punctuation work, but cut points then follow pauses and can land mid-sentence.
• It does not cut, reframe or caption anything. For that, see the steps in the guides below or use a clipper.
