How to Get Indonesian Transcripts
Find a YouTube video in Indonesian

Change youtube to 2outube
Replace 'youtube.com' with '2outube.com' in the URL and press Enter.
Copy, translate, or study the transcript
Once the transcript loads, you can copy the full Indonesian text for studying, translation, note-taking, or research. Paste it into a translation tool like DeepL for quick English conversion.
Tips for Indonesian Transcripts
Prefer formal Indonesian content for better accuracy
News broadcasts, government channels, and educational platforms like Ruangguru or Zenius tend to use formal Bahasa Indonesia, which YouTube's auto-captions handle much more accurately than casual or regional speech.
Watch for English loanwords in the transcript
Indonesian content frequently mixes in English words and phrases. These are often transcribed correctly, but sometimes the auto-caption system will render them phonetically in Indonesian spelling — so 'download' might appear as 'daunlod'. Read in context if something looks odd.
Use the transcript to practice Bahasa Indonesia
If you're learning Indonesian, transcripts from native speakers are excellent study material. Copy the text and look up unfamiliar words, or use it alongside the video to practice listening comprehension.
Check if the video has manual captions
Some Indonesian creators — particularly large educational channels — add manually written captions, which are significantly more accurate than auto-generated ones. The transcript you get from 2outube will reflect whichever caption track is available.
Questions
Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions. Most YouTube videos have auto-generated captions.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits.
Can I get Indonesian captions from a video that's in another language?
2outube retrieves the captions that YouTube has available for a video. If the video is in English but has an Indonesian subtitle track added by the creator, you may be able to access that.
Why does the transcript mix Indonesian and English words?
Indonesian speakers frequently code-switch — mixing Bahasa Indonesia with English words, especially for tech, business, and pop culture terms. This is natural and reflects how the video was actually spoken. The transcript is an accurate reflection of the audio.
Does it work with regional Indonesian dialects like Javanese or Sundanese?
2outube works with whatever captions YouTube generates. Auto-captions are trained primarily on standard Bahasa Indonesia, so videos with heavy regional dialect influence or non-Indonesian languages like Javanese may have lower accuracy or missing captions entirely.
Can I use this to translate an Indonesian transcript into English?
Yes. Once you have the Indonesian transcript from 2outube, copy the text and paste it into any translation tool — Google Translate, DeepL, or ChatGPT all work well for Indonesian to English translation.
How do I get a transcript from an Indonesian YouTube channel?
Find any video on the channel you want, then simply replace 'youtube.com' with '2outube.com' in the URL. The transcript for that specific video will load immediately. There's no need to find or configure anything — it just works.
Is this useful for Indonesian language learners?
Absolutely. Reading the transcript alongside the video is one of the most effective ways to improve your Bahasa Indonesia reading and listening at the same time.
