SRT to Text Converter
Strip the timestamps and numbering from an SRT file to get plain subtitle text.
Subtitles as readable text
An SRT file wraps the spoken words in numbering and timestamps, which is exactly what you do not want when you just need the transcript. This strips those out and leaves the plain text, so you can reuse what was said as an article, show notes, or a searchable transcript.

Turning captions into content
Pulling the text out of subtitles is a quick way to repurpose video into written content — a transcript for accessibility and search, a starting point for a blog post, or notes summarising what was covered. A good extraction also tidies the result, joining the short caption lines back into flowing sentences rather than leaving them broken at the awkward points where captions wrap. From there it is easy to lightly edit into readable prose. It is one of the simplest ways to get more mileage out of video you have already made.
