Yes, any video with captions.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits.

Most popular animation tutorial channels — Blender Guru, School of Motion, Alan Becker — have auto-generated or manual captions. If a video has no captions at all, 2outube will let you know.
Can I get timestamps alongside the transcript?
Yes. The transcript includes timestamps so you can match any section of text back to the exact moment in the video, making it easy to jump to a specific technique.
How do I find the shortcut keys an instructor mentioned in a tutorial?
Once you have the transcript open, use Ctrl+F and search for terms like 'press', 'hit', 'shortcut', or the key name itself (e.g., 'G key' or 'Shift+D').

Yes. There's no length limit. Whether the tutorial is 10 minutes or 6 hours, 2outube fetches the full caption track in one go.
