Turn SRT subtitles into readable text

SRT files are made for video players, not reading. TimeWipe strips the structure around the captions so you can use the transcript anywhere.

01

Cue numbers

Remove numbered subtitle blocks that do not belong in readable transcript text.

02

Timing ranges

Strip lines such as 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000 while keeping the caption text.

03

Readable output

Copy or download a cleaner text version for notes, docs, summaries, or publishing.

Example cleanup
