What tags get removed?

Index numbers, timecodes, and any styling tags are stripped, leaving only the caption text. Headers from VTT files are removed too.

Can I use this as a meeting transcript?

Yes — this is the quickest way to get a readable, timestamp-free transcript out of any captioned recording or video.

Is the conversion private?

Yes. Subtitle parsing runs fully in your browser; the file is never uploaded.

Is SRT to Text Converter free to use with no hidden limits?

Yes. Ancotools's free online SRT to Text Converter has no sign-up, no watermarks, no file-size cap and no daily quota. Because the work happens in your browser instead of on a server, there is no queue and no conversion credit to run out — you can process as many files as you need.

Is SRT to Text Converter really instant, or do I have to wait for an upload?

You never wait on an upload. SRT to Text Converter delivers instant browser conversion — the file is transformed locally on your own device, so your download is ready in seconds instead of sitting in a server-side queue.
