Turn subtitles into plain text
Get the readable text out of an .srt: no numbers, no timestamps and no forty-character line breaks.
What goes in the file
Your file never leaves this tab: the conversion happens in your browser, and nothing is sent to us.
Result
There's nothing to convert yet.
A subtitle file is not a text: it's a text chopped up to fit under a video. Every couple of seconds the sentence breaks, and a paragraph ends up spread across five numbered blocks. Fine for watching, useless for reading, quoting or feeding into anything else.
This puts it back together. Sentences are joined where the subtitle cut them, and a new paragraph starts where there's a real break — a silence of over two seconds, or a line that ended in a full stop. You can keep the timestamps if you're using it to navigate the recording, or drop them if what you want is prose.
What we handle that others don't
- Paragraphs rebuilt by silences and full stops, not by dumping every subtitle on its own line.
- Numbering and timings removed, or kept as a readable [1:23] if you want to find the moment again.
- Formatting tags stripped: no <i> left in the middle of a sentence.
- Speaker names kept when the file has them.
