Processing flow
Cache check
Unless
--force is set, NoteWise checks the SQLite cache before metadata or
transcript work.Metadata and transcript
NoteWise resolves YouTube metadata, captions, transcript segments, chapters,
and playlist context when applicable.
Generation
Transcript text is chunked with source defaults
4000 size and 200
overlap, then sent to the configured LiteLLM model.Artifacts
NoteWise writes notes, optional quizzes, optional transcript exports, and
rendered formats.
Chapter behavior
Videos with YouTube chapters use chapter-aware generation. Without--chapter-directory-output, the result is still bundled into a final notes file. With --chapter-directory-output, NoteWise writes per-chapter Markdown files into a folder and stores .notewise-output.json ownership metadata.
Output formats
| Format | Behavior |
|---|---|
md | Raw Markdown notes. Default. |
html | Markdown rendered with built-in CSS. |
pdf | Uses fpdf; Latin-script text only. Unsupported Unicode falls back to Markdown. |
docx | Uses html2docx and python-docx. |
