Using Transcripts with Send YouTube Transcripts to WordPress
Find your YouTube video
Navigate to the YouTube video you want to turn into a WordPress blog post. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar — for example, https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID.
Swap the URL to get the transcript
Change 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com' in the URL and press Enter. The 2outube page loads the full transcript automatically — timestamped, clean, and ready to copy. No login, no API key.
Copy the transcript text
Select all transcript text on the 2outube page and copy it to your clipboard. The text is plain and clean — no special formatting that would break WordPress's block editor or classic editor.
Paste into WordPress or the Send YouTube Transcripts plugin
Open your WordPress post editor. If you're using the Send YouTube Transcripts to WordPress plugin, paste the transcript into the plugin's import field and let it auto-format paragraphs and headings. Without the plugin, paste into a Classic or Paragraph block and add structure manually before publishing.
Quick Start
Get the transcript
Open the YouTube video you want to repurpose as a blog post and copy its URL from the address bar.
Change youtube to 2outube
In the URL, replace 'youtube.com' with '2outube.com' — so https://youtube.com/watch?v=ABC becomes https://2outube.com/watch?v=ABC. Hit Enter to load the full transcript instantly.
Paste into WordPress or the Send YouTube Transcripts plugin
Copy the transcript and paste it directly into your WordPress post editor or the Send YouTube Transcripts to WordPress plugin's import field. Add headings, clean up filler words, and publish.
Ready-Made Template
Use this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI after copying your 2outube transcript:

Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions — auto-generated or manually added. If YouTube has a transcript for it, 2outube can display it.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits, no credit card. Just change the URL and get the transcript.
Do I need the Send YouTube Transcripts to WordPress plugin to use this?
No. You can copy the transcript from 2outube and paste it directly into any WordPress editor — classic or block. The plugin just automates formatting if you use it.
Will the transcript include timestamps?
Yes. 2outube displays timestamps alongside each line of the transcript. You can use them to link readers to specific moments in the video or simply ignore them when pasting into WordPress.
How do I turn a raw transcript into a readable blog post?
Paste the transcript into an AI tool like ChatGPT or Claude with the prompt template above. It will add headings, clean up run-on sentences, and structure the post for WordPress automatically.
Can I use this to post YouTube content on WordPress without copyright issues?
If it's your own YouTube video, you own the content and can publish it freely on WordPress. For third-party videos, always get permission from the creator before republishing their transcript as a blog post.
Does 2outube work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes, if the Short has captions enabled. Just swap the URL the same way — replace 'youtube.com' with '2outube.com' in the Shorts URL.
What's the best WordPress workflow for YouTube content repurposing?
Get the transcript via 2outube, reformat it with an AI prompt, paste into WordPress as a draft, embed the original YouTube video at the top of the post using a YouTube block, then publish. This gives readers both the video and a readable written version.
