Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions — whether auto-generated or manually added. Most videos on YouTube have captions available.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits, no API key required to get the transcript via 2outube.
Which Mistral model works best for YouTube transcript analysis?
Mistral Large or Mistral Medium handle long transcripts best. For quick summaries, Mistral Small is fast and cost-effective. If using the API, mistral-large-latest gives the strongest reasoning over dense content like lectures or technical talks.
How long of a transcript can I send to Mistral?
Mistral supports large context windows — up to 128K tokens on Mistral Large. Most YouTube videos produce transcripts well within that limit. For very long content (3+ hour videos), consider splitting the transcript into sections and summarizing each before combining.
Can I use Mistral's API instead of the chat interface?
Yes. Copy the transcript from 2outube and include it as a user message in your API call. The Mistral API accepts plain text, so no special formatting is needed — just paste the transcript and add your instructions.
What can Mistral do with a YouTube transcript that other models can't?
Mistral is particularly strong at structured extraction, multi-language support, and efficient reasoning over long documents. It handles dense technical content well and supports function calling, making it useful if you want to extract structured data (like timestamps, topics, or entities) from a transcript programmatically.
Can I translate a YouTube transcript using Mistral?
Yes. Paste the transcript and ask Mistral to translate it into any language. This is useful for foreign-language videos where auto-captions exist but you want a clean translation without relying on YouTube's built-in translation.
Does 2outube work on mobile?
Yes. On mobile, tap the address bar, edit 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com', and load the page. You can then copy the transcript and paste it into the Mistral mobile app or web interface.
