Convert Subtitles & Transcripts to Plain Text
Paste YouTube transcripts, SRT/VTT subtitle files, or meeting notes to strip timecodes, line numbers, and audio tags.
Why Remove Timestamps From Video Captions?
When exporting subtitle files from platforms like YouTube, CapCut, Premiere Pro, or Whisper AI, the output arrives formatted with timing lines like 00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:26,000 or YouTube cues like 0:45. While these timestamps are essential for video players to sync audio, they ruin readability when you want to convert spoken dialogue into written articles, study notes, or AI prompts.
Three Cleaning Modes Explained
- Paragraph Mode: Automatically removes all line numbers, timing arrows, YouTube timecodes, and bracketed sound effect tags ([Music], [Applause]), joining dialogue into flowing paragraphs.
- Line-by-Line: Removes timestamps but keeps each spoken sentence on its own separate line for easy proofreading.
- Strip Numbers Only: Deletes only the sequence numbers (1, 2, 3...) while keeping timecodes untouched for subtitle timing workflows.
