SRT to TXT Converter — Extract Just the Dialogue

Open the converter

This SRT to TXT converter strips cue indices and timestamps from a SubRip subtitle file and gives you only the spoken text. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so transcripts of private or sensitive material never leave your device.

Subtitle files are a treasure trove of transcription work, but the format is noisy: indices, timestamps, line breaks every cue. When you want to feed the transcript into an LLM, search across multiple episodes, build a word count, or quote dialogue in a document, you usually just want the words. This tool gives you exactly that.

The output is a plain UTF-8 .txt file with one cue per line, in the original cue order. Multi-line cues are joined into a single line with a space separator. Inline tags like <i> or <b> are preserved as text — they pass through unchanged because most downstream tools either ignore them or treat them as part of the dialogue.

Use the copy-to-clipboard button to paste straight into a chat, an editor, or a prompt. Or download the .txt for archival or further processing.

Frequently asked questions

Is my SRT uploaded?

No. The text transformation runs entirely in your browser. The subtitle file and the extracted dialogue stay on your device.

Does it preserve the timing?

No. Timestamps and cue indices are removed; only the spoken dialogue remains. Use the SRT to VTT tool if you need timestamps.

How are multi-line cues handled?

Lines within a single cue are joined with a space, so each cue becomes one line in the output. Cue boundaries are preserved as newlines.

What about inline formatting tags?

Inline tags like <i> or <b> are preserved as-is in the text. Most downstream tools strip or ignore them automatically.

Can I feed the output into an LLM?

Yes — the plain dialogue is ideal for summarization, translation, or transcript search prompts.
