VTT to TXT converter
WebVTT files carry a header, optional cue identifiers and positioning settings around the text you actually want. This converter throws all of that away and returns just the caption text, one cue per line, ready to paste into a document or a translation tool.

Questions about VTT and TXT
What about NOTE and STYLE blocks?+
They are dropped. Only the caption text is kept.
Do duplicate lines get merged?+
No. Rolling captions from live broadcasts often repeat the same line across several cues; the output keeps every cue, so you may need to remove repeats by hand.
Is the file uploaded?+
No, the conversion runs in your browser.
Need to translate the subtitles too?
Converting a format keeps the same language. To translate subtitles into another language while the timing stays exactly where it is, the Mac app does it in batch across 100+ languages, with an editor and validation before export.
