An SRT file is full of numbers, timestamps and formatting. If you only need the words, to read them, quote them or paste them into a document, this tool cleans the file up in a moment.
Your file never leaves your device: it's converted right in your browser. Free, no account needed.
Your file stays on your device. If you also have the audio, TraScrivo can transcribe it with timestamps and export it as SRT, VTT, TXT, Word or PDF.
Subtitle numbers, timestamps (00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000) and formatting tags such as italics or color disappear. Only the words remain, in the right order.
With “continuous paragraphs”, the lines are joined and a new paragraph starts after longer pauses, so the text reads like an article.
The tool detects the file's encoding on its own (UTF-8, UTF-16 or Windows) and saves the TXT as UTF-8, so accented letters and special characters come out right. See also our guide to SRT subtitles.
Yes, with no account and no limit on the number of files.
Yes: the tool reads both SRT and WebVTT.
No. The conversion happens in your browser, instantly.
The tool recognizes the most common encodings; if something still looks wrong, open the SRT in a text editor, save it as UTF-8 and try again.
Then upload it to TraScrivo: you get a transcript with timestamps and can download it as SRT, VTT, TXT, Word or PDF.
