How to use it
Open your SRT file
Choose or drop the SRT file, or several at once. It is read by this page and never uploaded.
Choose the layout
Join captions into paragraphs for reading, or add timestamps to keep one line per caption.
Copy or download the text
Copy the transcript in one click or download it as a TXT file.
From subtitles to a readable script
An SRT file splits speech into short pieces for the screen, often in the middle of a sentence. The converter joins them back into paragraphs and starts a new one after a pause of two seconds or more, so the result reads like a transcript instead of a list of fragments.
To keep the timing, tick Add timestamps: every caption then becomes one line starting with its time.
Cleaning up first
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing contain sound descriptions such as [music] and speaker names. Run the file through the subtitle cleaner first if you want only the spoken words.
Questions and answers
Will the TXT file include timestamps?
Only if you tick Add timestamps. By default the text has no numbers or times.
Can I convert several SRT files to text at once?
Yes. Open them together and download all the text files as a ZIP.
Does it work for other subtitle formats?
Yes. VTT, ASS, SBV, TTML and the other supported formats all work on this page.
