I’ve used Y2Doc before and it’s a solid YouTube transcription tool that turns videos into structured docs and makes long content easier to read. I’ve also been using Saveto AI for the same kind of thing, mainly to quickly turn videos into clean text and simple notes for easy skimming later.

it's a good tool to use with gpt or other ai for you study things and ask about things you watch on youtube , but only with other chat bot ai

Generates gibberish

Works well for me! Save me great time from taking notes myself with only a click.

no way to try

Exactly what we've been searching for in order to convert YouTube videos to audio for private podcasting purposes for SBI! members. Hope Y2Doc considers building an app for audio-to-private-podcast too!

Whoa, looks like some next-level sci-fi tech...but actually works

Diana Jul 17, 2025 v@ initial release

Amazing transcript tool! It generates structured transcription with timestamps! Wow! Never seen this before.
Try it! It will give you a BIG surprise!

Thought it’d be gimmicky at first, but turns out y2doc is ridiculously good. It summarized a 3-hour panel talk into something I could actually use. Total productivity boost

Diana Jul 17, 2025 v@ initial release

Amazing! It transcribes all videos, no matter how long, even 2 hours! It generated a structured transcription with a timestamp. Really useful for learning! I've been cheated by many tools that claim a transcription feature. The fact is that they can do nothing!
Y2Doc is unprecedented!
Try it! It will give you BIG SURPRISE!

Y2Doc has been a game-changer for my learning. Instead of rewatching long YouTube lectures or tutorials, I simply paste the URL and get a clear, structured text document in seconds. It saves me so much time taking notes and lets me focus on actually understanding the material. The accuracy is impressive for most videos, and it's incredibly fast. A must-have tool for any student!

Linda Lin Jul 15, 2025 v@ initial release

YouTube to Doc is freaking awesome! Total lifesaver for turning videos into text. Just paste the URL → boom, you’ve got a doc. Perfect for notes or quotes. 10/10 recommend!
