SRT to Text Converter
Pull the words out of an .srt subtitle file – cue numbers and timestamps stripped, just the clean text.
Accepts an .srt subtitle file (or pasted SRT text) · returns clean plain text with the cue numbers and timestamps removed.
How do I convert SRT to text?
To convert SRT to text, drop your .srt file in and Pepys strips the cue numbers and timestamps, leaving just the spoken words as clean, readable text you can download or copy. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Free, no account.
How srt to txt works
Add your .srt file
Drop in the SRT file or paste its text – it stays on your device.
Strip the timing
Pepys removes the cue numbers and timestamps and keeps the spoken text, in order.
Download or copy
Grab the plain .txt, or copy the text straight into your notes or doc.
An .srt file is mostly noise if you just want the words: every line is wrapped in a cue number and a timestamp. Pepys turns it into a clean transcript – it drops the numbering and the timing and leaves the spoken text in order, ready to read, quote, or paste into a document.
It runs in your browser, so the subtitle file never leaves your device, there's nothing to install, and there's no account. Convert a short clip or a feature-length .srt the same way, free.
