Copy the transcript text

Select all the transcript text on the 2outube page (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A works), then copy it. You can also copy specific sections you care about.

Paste into a new Anytype object

In Anytype, create a new Note, Page, or custom object type. Paste the transcript into the body. Add tags like the video title, channel name, or topic. Link it to related objects in your Anytype graph for a connected knowledge base.

Questions

Does this work with any YouTube video?

Yes, any video with captions.

Is it really free?

Completely free. No account, no limits.

Can I save YouTube transcripts directly into Anytype?

Yes. Copy the full transcript from 2outube and paste it into any Anytype object — a Note, Page, or a custom object type you've created. Anytype's block-based editor accepts plain text paste perfectly.

What Anytype object type works best for transcripts?

The built-in Note type works well for quick captures. For a more structured knowledge base, create a custom 'Video Source' object type with relations for Channel, Date, Topic, and Source URL — then link transcripts to your projects or reading lists.

Can I use transcripts to build a Anytype graph?

Absolutely. After pasting the transcript into Anytype, use @-mentions to link the note to related objects in your graph — people, projects, concepts, or books. This turns YouTube content into connected knowledge you can actually navigate.

Does 2outube include timestamps in the transcript?

Yes, transcripts include timestamps so you can reference specific moments in the video. These are useful for adding inline annotations in Anytype and linking back to exact points in the source.

Can I use this for lecture notes or research in Anytype?

Yes — this is one of the most popular use cases. Researchers and students get the full transcript from any educational video via 2outube, then paste it into Anytype as a source object linked to their research project or thesis.

Do I need the Anytype web clipper or any extension?

No extensions needed on either side. 2outube works entirely in your browser — just change the URL. Then copy and paste the transcript into Anytype's desktop or mobile app like any other text.
