How to use Subtitles to Text Extractor
- Paste plain subtitle cues and select SRT or WebVTT.
- Choose whether consecutive identical captions should be collapsed.
- Extract and copy or download the transcript.
Extract spoken text from a timed caption file
The parser separates caption text from numbering and timing. Common inline cue markup is removed and character references are decoded in an inert document. The output keeps one paragraph per cue, including line breaks inside the cue. Consecutive duplicate removal is optional and does not deduplicate unrelated later repetitions.
A transcript is not a new transcription
This tool reads the subtitle text you supply; it does not process audio or perform OCR on burned-in subtitles. Speaker labels and sound descriptions remain part of the text unless they are markup. Plain timed-cue input is supported. Review the result before using it as edited prose, because caption segmentation often splits sentences for on-screen reading.
Example input
1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,000 Hello, world! 2 00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,000 A second caption.
Will it remove legitimate repeated dialogue?
Only consecutive identical cue texts are collapsed when that option is enabled. Disable it when every repeated cue should remain.
