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.
