Turn subtitles into plain text
An .srt file is great for video players, but useless when you just want the words. This tool removes the cue numbers and the timestamp lines (like 00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,000) and leaves you with clean, readable text you can paste into a doc, blog post, or email.
SRT to TXT and SRT to text are the same conversion
Whether you searched for SRT to TXT, SRT to text, SRT to text file, or convert SRT file to text, the goal is the same: keep the spoken words and remove subtitle formatting. The download uses the .txt extension, so it opens in Notepad, TextEdit, Google Docs, Word, and most writing tools.
What the converter removes — and what it keeps
- Removes cue numbers such as 1, 2, and 3
- Removes SRT and WebVTT timestamp lines
- Keeps the subtitle text in its original order
- Keeps each caption cue on its own text line
- Lets you copy the result or download a UTF-8 .txt file
Everything runs in your browser
Your subtitle file never leaves your device. The conversion happens locally in JavaScript — there's no upload, no account, and no waiting on a server. That makes it instant and private, even for client work.
Common uses
- Repurpose a captioned video's script into a blog post or newsletter
- Get a clean transcript to quote or translate
- Feed plain text into a summarizer or AI tool
- Proofread a script without the timecodes in the way
FAQ
Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole conversion runs locally in your browser. The file is never sent to a server.
Does it work with .vtt files too?
Yes — it parses both SRT and WebVTT timestamps. If you want to keep timecodes and just change format, use the VTT to SRT tool instead.
Can I convert an SRT file to a TXT file without installing software?
Yes. Add the SRT file in this page and download the cleaned result as a .txt file. The conversion runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no server upload.
What if I only have the video, not a subtitle file?
Use the MP3 to Text tool to transcribe the audio first, then export. ReelTranscript can also caption TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook videos from a link.
