How to convert SRT file to text file
In this video, I'm going to show you how you could convert an SRT subtitle file into a text file without any software so this SRT file is a subtitle file that I'm just grabbing from YouTube on YouTube. You could actually download your subtitle file. So I'm going to just go ahead and download that so I could show you how you could convert it and if I go to my desktop here, I have it right here. This is the captions file.
I just downloaded it from YouTube. If I try to open this, if I just try to open it with the software that I have on my computer, it's only giving me some media options. That's not going to be a text file at all for my captions file. So in order to read it, there is some software online that lets you do this conversion.
So if you Google SRT to text, you could do this online. Well, there's a super-easy way to do it and that is by just renaming this file to a text file. So you could go ahead and right-click or control, click on a Mac and just press rename, or you could just press enter and you'll just have to replace the SRT with.
T X T that's going to change it to a text file. Just say, use text instead of keeping CRT, and just by doing that, if I press the space bar here on a Mac, that's it. Look, I got all the text files from my subtitle with the time code. I'll just go ahead and open this text file with the text reader here and this is all the subtitles that I have for that one on video.
So here you could do any edits that you want. You could remove it all the time. Cause if you just want the texts, they'll basically use this process to make sure I got the subtitles out of YouTube that are automatically generated so I could use them on different platforms like my website. I hope this video helped you go ahead and give us a thumbs up.
