Paste the video’s link and 2outube converts it into readable text — the full spoken content, laid out as a transcript you can read, search, and copy.
Full transcript in seconds — searchable, timestamped, yours to keep.
The text comes from the captions already attached to the video on YouTube, either written by the creator or generated automatically. 2outube doesn’t run its own speech-to-text — it fetches and cleans up the caption track that already exists.
That means the text is only as accurate as YouTube’s own captions. Well-captioned videos convert cleanly; auto-generated captions on noisy or fast-talking videos carry the same rough edges they have on YouTube itself.
Once it’s text, read it directly on the page, copy it, or download it as .txt, .md, .srt, or .json.
No. It reads the captions YouTube already has for that video — auto-generated or creator-uploaded. We don’t run our own speech recognition, so accuracy is whatever YouTube’s own captions already have.
Then there’s no text for us to fetch — 2outube can’t generate a transcript from a video that has no captions on YouTube.
Reading any already-transcribed video is free forever, no account. Opening brand-new videos is free 3 times a day — 2outube Plus raises that to 100 a day.
Yes — download it as .txt, .md, .srt, or .json from the transcript page, all free.
It can. 2outube requests English first; if English is unavailable, the supplier may return the video’s first available caption track. The reader does not currently let you choose or translate a language.
