Why strip timestamps?
Sometimes you just need the words. Plain text transcripts are perfect for:
- Study notes and flashcards
- Pasting into AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
- Blog posts and articles
- Searching for specific quotes
- Accessibility — clean text for screen readers
FAQ
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your files stay on your device.
What gets removed?
Sequence numbers, timestamps, and blank lines. You get just the spoken text, one line per subtitle cue.
Can I convert back to SRT?
No — the timestamps are gone. If you need timestamps, download the original SRT from the subtitle downloader.
