Features

Just the Words, No Clutter

Drop a subtitle file and get back clean prose — every timestamp, cue number and styling tag removed automatically. Perfect for reading, studying or repurposing.

Timestamps Stripped

Cue indexes and 00:01:23 timecodes are removed so you read the dialogue as flowing text, not a timeline.

Styling Tags Removed

ASS override codes and inline VTT markup like <c> or <v Bob> are cleaned out — only the spoken words remain.

Your Way

Choose a single flowing paragraph, one line per cue, or keep timestamps as a readable transcript.

Every Common Subtitle Format

Upload SRT, VTT or ASS — the format is auto-detected. Full Unicode support means Chinese, Japanese, Korean and every other language comes through intact.

SRT, VTT & ASS

The three formats you actually run into — from YouTube, Premiere, VLC, HTML5 players and anime fansubs.

Auto Format Detection

Drop any subtitle file and we figure out whether it's SRT, VTT or ASS — no need to label it.

Full Unicode Support

Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Thai, emoji — every character is preserved exactly.

100% Private & Free

Your subtitle file never leaves your device — everything runs as plain JavaScript inside the browser tab.

Zero Server Upload

Files are read, parsed and extracted entirely on your own machine. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Copy or Download

Copy the text to your clipboard or download it as a .txt file — instantly, with one click.

Works Everywhere

Any modern browser — desktop or mobile. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
