VTT to TXT Converter

Pull plain-text dialogue out of a WebVTT subtitle file - clean transcript, no timestamps, no metadata.

Why convert VTT to TXT?

WebVTT files often come straight out of YouTube auto-captions, streaming downloads, or web video tools. They're great for playback but messy for reading: a WEBVTT header, optional NOTE blocks, STYLE definitions, region descriptors, and per-cue identifiers all clutter the actual speech. This page strips all of it and leaves just the words.

We parse the VTT, drop the header / NOTE / STYLE / REGION sections, then walk each cue and discard timestamp lines. What's left is the dialogue, preserved in cue order. Handy for AI-summary workflows, blog transcript drafts, and importing into screenplay or note-taking tools. Everything runs in your browser; no VTT is uploaded.
