Convert subtitles to a text transcript

By Rony Fadel, founder of Spiik. Updated November 1, 2026.

How it works

Paste an SRT or VTT file below to get clean, readable text, without timestamps, numbers or tags. It's free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

What gets cleaned up

  • Cue numbers, timestamps and WebVTT headers are removed.
  • Formatting tags and voice labels are removed.
  • Immediately repeated lines, common in auto-generated captions, are merged.
  • Lines are joined into paragraphs.

Need a transcript of the audio itself?

If you don't have subtitles yet, here's how to convert a video to text with Spiik, which also labels speakers and creates notes.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, and the file stays on your device.

Does this work with auto-generated captions?

Yes, if you have them as an SRT or VTT file. Repeated lines are merged, though you may still want to fix punctuation.
