Get a YouTube transcript in Chinese.
Paste a YouTube link to open its transcript. You will get Chinese only when the caption track returned for that video is in Chinese; 2outube does not currently translate text into Chinese or let you choose a track.
Nothing is fetched until you submit a video link.
For a Chinese lecture, documentary, or tutorial, a returned Chinese caption track stays in Chinese characters. You can search it on the page, copy the text, or export the timed captions as .srt, .txt, .md, or .json.
What the tool actually does matters here: 2outube asks its transcript suppliers for English first. If an English track is unavailable, the supplier can fall back to the video’s first available caption track. On a Chinese-only video that may be Chinese; when English captions exist, the returned transcript may be English instead.
The text and timing come from the track the supplier returns. 2outube does not rewrite, translate, or correct it, so auto-caption errors and the video’s own caption availability carry through.
Questions, answered.
Does 2outube translate any YouTube video into Chinese?
No. 2outube extracts a caption track; it does not translate the transcript into Chinese.
When will the transcript be in Chinese?
When the supplier returns a Chinese track. The tool requests English first and may receive the first available track when English is unavailable, so the result depends on that video’s caption tracks.
Will 中文 characters be preserved?
Yes, when they are present in the returned caption track. 2outube passes the caption text through without transliterating it.
What if the video has no usable transcript?
If the transcript supplier returns no transcript for the video, 2outube has no text to show. Try another video or check the caption options on YouTube.
Is it free?
Reading, searching, and exporting an already-transcribed video is free with no account. The free tier also opens up to three brand-new videos per day.
