Is it really free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no trial period, no usage limits.
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.

Yes, timestamps appear alongside the transcript text so you can reference specific moments in the video.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes, 2outube works in any mobile browser. Just edit the URL the same way.
Can I share a transcript with someone?
Yes. Share the 2outube URL and anyone can view the transcript without needing an account.

Does it work with videos in other languages?

Is there a limit on how many transcripts I can get?
No. Use it as many times as you want.
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.
