SRT to TXT Converter

About This Tool

The tool converts SRT subtitle blocks into a clean plain text transcript by removing timing data and block indices while preserving spoken content lines. It is designed for video editors, podcasters, educators, researchers, and translators who need ready-to-use transcripts for review, translation preparation, or documentation. It supports standard SRT formatting and UTF-8 text, enabling reliable downstream processing.
Conceptually, the process comprises parsing the SRT content, filtering out the numeric and time lines, and concatenating the remaining dialogue lines into a readable transcript. Optional options can preserve timestamps for reference, normalize whitespace to a consistent baseline, and merge multi-line subtitles into cohesive sentences. The result is a predictable plain-text stream suitable for search indexing, NLP tasks, and archival workflows.
The tool emphasizes speed, determinism, and language-agnostic output. By avoiding styling, speaker annotations, or formatting cues, it yields clean transcripts that can be fed into translation memories, subtitle editors, or content analysis pipelines. It is especially useful for content creators, educators, and researchers who need a quick, repeatable way to extract spoken content from video captions.
Core features include: removal of indices and timestamps by default; optional timestamp preservation; whitespace normalization; multi-line subtitle handling; UTF-8 compatibility; and straightforward export to TXT. Typical use cases include post-production transcription, accessibility preparation, and content indexing for search. The approach preserves the semantic order of dialogue while omitting non-speech cues, making it suitable for downstream NLP, sentiment analysis, or caption review tasks. It works with multilingual content, provided the SRT blocks are encoded in UTF-8.
