VTT to TXT Converter
Need clean text instead of caption cues? LinkTranscript extracts a video's captions and lets you export them as either WebVTT or plain TXT, so you can move between subtitle and text workflows easily.
Paste a YouTube link to generate the captions, then export to the format you need.
From cue timings to readable prose
VTT files are great for players but awkward to read. Exporting to TXT strips the cue syntax and gives you clean, continuous text — with or without timestamps.
Keep both formats
Export VTT for your web player and TXT for your notes from the same transcript. No need to convert files by hand.
Clean by default
Repeated whitespace is collapsed and lines are tidied, so the text you get is ready to use immediately.
