No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable
Sometimes it is not the subtitle track that matters, but only what is being said: the spoken content of a video as continuous text. This tool takes an SRT or VTT file and pulls a plain transcript out of it - no numbers, no timestamps and no technical marker lines. The result is a simple text file you can search, quote, summarise or use as the basis for subtitles in another language.
The tool detects the input format automatically, so both classic SRT and WebVTT files work. Each subtitle becomes one line; multi-line subtitles are joined into a single line, and inline markup such as italic tags is removed so the text stays cleanly readable. The order is of course preserved, so the transcript follows the flow of the video.
Processing runs entirely locally in your browser in pure JavaScript - the subtitle file is not uploaded and nothing is stored. That way the content of a confidential interview or an internal recording also stays on your device. If the tool finds no subtitles with timestamps, it says so honestly instead of producing an empty file.

Limitations: The result is the plain subtitle text, one line per subtitle - no speaker labels, no time marks and no punctuation beyond what was already in the subtitles. It is not a speech-recognition tool: anything not present as a subtitle in the file cannot appear in the transcript either.
No. The transcript is produced entirely locally in your browser; the subtitle file never leaves your device.
SRT and WebVTT. The tool detects the format automatically and outputs a plain transcript in both cases.
No, they are deliberately removed - that is the point of a transcript. For timings use the conversion tools between SRT and VTT.
Yes. Inline markup in the subtitle text is stripped so the transcript stays cleanly readable.
