How accurate are the transcripts?
Accuracy depends on the video's captions. Manually uploaded captions are very accurate. Auto-generated captions are generally good but may have occasional errors.

Is there a limit on how many transcripts I can get?

What if the video doesn't have captions?
Most YouTube videos have auto-generated captions. If a video doesn't have any captions at all, 2outube won't be able to extract a transcript. This is rare for English-language content.
Can I use the transcript for commercial purposes?
The transcript text comes directly from YouTube's caption data. How you use it depends on the original video's license and your jurisdiction's fair use rules.
Does 2outube store my data or viewing history?
No. 2outube doesn't require an account and doesn't track which videos you transcribe. There's nothing to store because there's no login.
