How do I convert SRT to TXT?

Open an SRT file or paste its contents into the converter. The text appears immediately without cue numbers and timestamps. Choose a paragraph layout, review the result, and click Download TXT.

Can I convert VTT to plain text too?

Yes. The converter reads WebVTT subtitles, removes the header, cue settings, comments and common caption formatting, and keeps the spoken text. Voice labels such as Maya are retained when present in the subtitle file.

Can I keep timestamps in the transcript?

Yes. Turn on Keep start timestamps for editing references. Each subtitle becomes a separate paragraph with its original start time, so you can refer to a moment while planning an edit.

Is this subtitle converter free?

Yes. This browser utility is free and requires no account. Subtitle text is converted locally in your browser. Valmera's video editor is a separate product with its own plans.

Does this transcribe video or audio?

This tool extracts text from an existing SRT or VTT subtitle file. It does not listen to audio or generate missing captions. If your video already has an exported subtitle file, open that file here.

Will it remove repeated lines from rolling captions?

Repeated text is preserved so intentional repetition is not lost. Review and edit rolling captions after conversion before using the transcript in a script, article or editing brief.
