What the TXT transcript removes
SRT sequence numbers and timestamps are removed so the spoken words read as clean paragraphs. Cue order and intentional line breaks remain, making the file useful for notes, summaries, search, and editorial work.

SRT to Text (TXT) Converter
Convert SRT to TXT as a clean, readable transcript. Whisper Web removes subtitle indices and timestamps, keeps cue order and line breaks, and creates the plain-text file on your device.
Format behavior
What changes when SRT becomes Text (TXT)?
The SRT to TXT output is intended for notes, scripts, articles, and document workflows. It keeps the words and cue order but removes subtitle numbering and timing metadata.
Indices are removed
SRT sequence numbers do not appear in the readable transcript.
Timestamps are removed
The TXT file contains words rather than player timing metadata.
Cue paragraphs stay ordered
Cues are separated with readable paragraph spacing.
Text is generated locally
The browser creates the .txt download without sending subtitle content away.
TXT is a transcript, not a timed subtitle
Choose SRT or VTT when a video player needs timestamps. Choose TXT when you need a clean transcript for editing, search, notes, or downstream writing.

About converting SRT to plain text
This route makes a reading and writing transcript from a timed subtitle file; it is deliberately not a player export.
When to retain subtitle timing
Keep the original SRT if a video player still needs timing. If the destination is HTML video, use SRT to VTT; if you need a printable review copy, choose the PDF output from the Subtitle Converter.

Frequently asked questions
Is Whisper Web really free? Do I need an account?
In free local mode, audio is processed in your browser and is not uploaded. No account is required. Each file can be up to 20 minutes and 200 MB. There is no daily file-count limit. For longer files, Whisper Web Unlimited offers optional cloud processing with a per-file limit of 10 hours and 5 GB.
What is the official Whisper Web site?
The official Whisper Web site is https://whisperweb.dev. Other domains may use a similar name. Free local mode on whisperweb.dev runs in your browser without an account; each file is limited to 20 minutes and 200 MB.
Does my audio leave my device?
In free local mode, audio is processed in your browser and is not uploaded. Model files still download over the network the first time you use a model. Whisper Web Unlimited is an optional cloud workflow for larger files (up to 10 hours and 5 GB per file).
What if a result says Whisper Web but the address is different?
If a result says “Whisper Web” but the address is not whisperweb.dev, it is not the official Whisper Web site. Open https://whisperweb.dev to use free local transcription in your browser (20 minutes / 200 MB per file, no account).
What does SRT to TXT remove?
The TXT export removes SRT sequence numbers and timestamps. It keeps the cue text in order and uses blank lines to make the transcript easier to read.
Is SRT to TXT the same as SRT to Text?
Yes. The canonical Whisper Web route is /srt-to-text, while SRT to TXT is the common search phrase for the same plain-text transcript workflow.
Can I convert a large SRT file to TXT?
The browser-local converter accepts UTF-8 subtitle files up to 5 MB. Larger files should be split before conversion so the browser remains responsive.
