Pricing

For the fourth video, and the fortieth.

The transcript is free. Export is free. Forever.

Reading is free and stays free — every already-opened video, every search, and every single-video export, with no account. The free tier also opens three brand-new videos a day. One-time Batch packs cost $2.99 for up to 25 videos or $4.99 for up to 100. For ongoing repeat work, 2outube Plus ($4.99/mo) raises fresh transcripts to 100 a day and keeps permanent Collections.

Questions, answered.

Is 2outube free?

Yes. Every cached transcript, search, and single-video export is free — no account needed, forever. Opening brand-new videos is free three times a day. One-time Batch packs start at $2.99; 2outube Plus ($4.99/month) raises that to 100 a day and keeps permanent Collections.

How does the one-letter trick work?

In any YouTube URL, replace "youtube.com" with "2outube.com" and press Enter. You land on the same video with its full transcript beside it. It works with youtu.be, shorts, and mobile links too.

Does it work on every video?

It works on any video that has captions or subtitles on YouTube — which is most of them. Videos with captions disabled have nothing for us to fetch.

What languages are supported?

The reader asks for English first. If English captions are unavailable, the transcript supplier may return the video’s first available caption track. There is no language picker or translation control today.

Can I download the transcript?

Yes — plain text (.txt), Markdown (.md), subtitles (.srt), or structured JSON. All free, straight from the transcript page.

Is it "2outube" or "2youtube"?

It’s 2outube.com — the "2" replaces the "y" in youtube.com, so the address stays the same length and you only change one letter. If you searched for 2youtube or 2yt, this is the site you were looking for.

Every video is a document waiting to be read.
