Why extract text from subtitles?
Transcripts, show notes, translations to polish, quotes to cite, accessibility copies — the words are already timed and ordered inside the .srt; this just frees them from the container. Subtitles often repeat a line across consecutive cues so slow readers can keep up, which is why drop repeated consecutive lines is on by default for a cleaner read.

The SRT itself is broken before extraction?
Garbled characters, overlapping cues and junk lines survive extraction — fix the file first, then pull the text.

Does the output keep the timing?
No — that's the point. Numbers, timestamps and blank cue lines are removed; you get pure text in playback order. Need the timing? Keep the SRT, or generate a fresh track with the TXT to SRT converter.
What does "drop repeated consecutive lines" do?
Subtitle tracks often repeat the same caption across back-to-back cues. With the option on, a line identical to the previous output line is skipped — so a repeated on-screen sentence appears once.
Does "merge into paragraphs" still respect order?
Yes. Cue text is joined with spaces in the original order — no reordering, no summarizing, just the words as one flowing text.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free, and no account — extraction runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your machine.
