SRT to TXT Converter

Strip cue numbers and timestamps from an SRT file to get just the dialogue as plain text - perfect for transcripts.

Why convert SRT to TXT?

Sometimes you want the words from an SRT without the subtitle scaffolding: a clean transcript of an interview, a script you can paste into a doc, search text to feed into AI summarization. SRT files carry cue numbers and HH:MM:SS,mmm timestamps that get in the way - this page strips them all out and leaves just the spoken lines.

The parser walks the SRT line by line and discards anything that's a cue index (a bare number) or a timestamp (a line with "-->"). What's left is the actual dialogue, preserved in its original order. Useful for scripting workflows, blog post transcripts, accessibility re-purposing, and uploading into transcription tools that want plain text. Runs locally; the SRT never leaves your device.
