Using Transcripts with Evernote
Find the YouTube video
Navigate to any YouTube video you want to capture. This works for lectures, tutorials, interviews, podcasts, documentaries — any video with captions enabled.
Swap the URL to 2outube
In your browser address bar, change 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com'. Hit Enter. The full transcript will load instantly on the page — no login, no paste box, no waiting.
Copy the transcript text
Select all the transcript text on the page (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A works well), then copy it. You can copy with or without timestamps depending on whether you want time references in your Evernote note.
Paste into a new Evernote note
Open Evernote, create a new note, and paste the transcript. Add the video title, URL, and any tags like 'video-notes' or the topic name. Your note is now searchable, taggable, and ready to link with related notes in your knowledge base.

- [ ] Questions
Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions — including auto-generated captions. If a video has no captions at all, no transcript will be available.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits, no install required. Just swap the URL and copy.
Can I get timestamps in my Evernote note?
Yes. The 2outube transcript includes timestamps. Copy the transcript with timestamps intact and they'll appear in your Evernote note, letting you reference specific moments in the video.
How do I find my YouTube transcript notes in Evernote later?
Evernote's full-text search will find any word in a pasted transcript. For better organization, add consistent tags like #video-notes or #youtube when you create the note, and create a dedicated notebook for video content.
Can I use Evernote Web Clipper instead?
You can clip the 2outube transcript page directly using the Evernote Web Clipper browser extension. This captures the formatted transcript page as a note automatically, which is even faster than copying and pasting manually.
Does 2outube work on mobile for clipping to Evernote mobile?
Yes. On mobile, open the YouTube video URL in your browser, edit 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com' in the address bar, then share or copy the transcript text into the Evernote mobile app.
What if the transcript is in a different language?
2outube displays whatever captions the video has, including translated subtitle tracks when available. If the video has multiple language caption options, you can select the language on YouTube first before swapping the URL.
Can I link Evernote transcript notes to other notes?
Absolutely. Once the transcript is in Evernote, you can use note links, bi-directional links, and tags to connect it with related research, meeting notes, or project notebooks — making your video notes part of your full knowledge base.
