To transcribe a Quora Session from YouTube, change youtube.com to 2outube.com in the video URL and press Enter. The full transcript appears instantly.

Search by the question topic, not the guest's name
In the transcript, search for key nouns related to the question you're researching — like 'startup' or 'mental health' — rather than the speaker's name.
Note the timestamp before you copy a quote
Each transcript line is tied to a timestamp in the video.
Cross-reference with the written Quora thread
Many Quora Sessions are tied to a live Quora thread where the same questions were answered in text.
Use the transcript to build a question index
Quora Sessions cover dozens of questions.
