Turning a web caption file back into prose
A VTT file downloaded from a video platform is the closest thing to a transcript that platform will give you, wrapped in cue numbers, timestamps and occasional positioning hints. Stripping all of that leaves the spoken text in one continuous piece, ready to read, quote or search. Nothing is rewritten on the way — every word is the one that was in the file.
About the plain text format
A clean transcript with no timestamps — ready for articles, meeting notes, quotes, study material or feeding into any other tool. If you need timings later, the same upload already produced all seven subtitle formats too.
What changes, and what doesn't
A subtitle file is a list of lines with a start and an end. Converting one rewrites how those three things are spelled — the words, the cue order and the timings themselves come through untouched, as long as the target format can hold them. Where it cannot, the rounding is the format's own: ASS and SSA keep hundredths of a second, MicroDVD counts frames, MPL2 tenths, TMP whole seconds, and plain text drops the timings entirely because it has nowhere to put them. Converting to SRT or VTT never loses anything, which is why those two are the safe formats to keep an archive in.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert VTT to Text?
Open the converter, pick your VTT file, choose Text and download. There is no upload step, no waiting and no account.
Are the timings preserved?
Exactly, to the precision the target format supports. SRT and VTT hold milliseconds, ASS and SSA hundredths, MicroDVD frames, MPL2 tenths and TMP whole seconds — the converter never shifts a cue beyond the rounding the format itself requires.
Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file stays on your machine even while the page is open.
How much does it cost?
Your first 2 files are free with no account, and a free account gives you 3 every month. After that, plans start at $2/month for 20 transcriptions — every subtitle format and free translation are included in each one.
Are my files stored anywhere?
No. Audio streams straight through to the recognition engine and is never written to disk; transcript texts are erased from our servers within 1 hour. Your lasting copy stays in your own browser.
