More Converters
Extract plain text from ASS subtitle files, stripping all formatting tags, timestamps, and style information. The result is clean, readable text containing only the spoken dialogue — ideal for transcripts, scripts, content analysis, or accessibility documentation.
Common Uses for Subtitle Text Extraction
- Transcripts: Create readable transcripts from video subtitles for blog posts, show notes, or meeting minutes.
- Content Indexing: Extract searchable text for SEO, internal search engines, or content management systems.
- Translation Prep: Provide translators with clean source text without the distraction of timing codes and style markup.
- Accessibility: Generate text-only versions of video dialogue for screen readers or text-based accessibility tools.
- Script Review: Review dialogue content in a clean document format without technical subtitle metadata.
What Gets Removed
The converter removes everything except the spoken text:
- All timestamps and sequence numbers
- ASS override tags (bold, italic, color, positioning, effects)
- Style definitions, script metadata, and comments
- Karaoke timing and animation tags

Frequently Asked Questions
Are timestamps included in the text output?
No. The output is dialogue text only, with no timing information. If you need timestamps alongside text, use the ASS to SRT or ASS to Excel converter instead.
How are multiple speakers handled?
Each dialogue entry appears on its own line in the output. Speaker names from the ASS Name field are not included — the output is text content only.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All uploads use HTTPS encryption. Source files are deleted immediately after conversion, and results are removed within 24 hours.
