Free Online TTML to TXT Converter

Our TTML to TXT converter reads Timed Text Markup Language input and produces Plain Text output entirely in your browser. Timing is normalized to TXT's expected format. All timing and styling is stripped so you are left with a clean transcript of the spoken text. The conversion runs client-side, so your subtitle files are never uploaded to a server.

Input Format

TTML

TTML (Timed Text Markup Language) is an XML-based subtitle format standardized by the W3C and required by Netflix, Apple TV, and many broadcast workflows. Captions live in <p> elements with begin and end (or dur) attributes that express time either as seconds (1.500s) or as clock values (HH:MM:SS.mmm). The related ITT (iTunes Timed Text) format shares the same XML structure and is handled the same way.

Output Format

TXT

TXT (Plain Text) output strips away all timing, sequence numbers, and formatting, leaving only the spoken dialogue as a clean transcript. This is useful for extracting scripts, building searchable transcripts, feeding text into translation or AI tools, or repurposing subtitle content as plain documents.

Features

Extracts only the dialogue text, discarding timestamps and sequence numbers.
Strips styling tags and markup so the output is pure plain text.
Outputs one cue per line (or joined as configured) as a clean transcript.
Produces UTF-8 text ready for editors, search, and further processing.

Why Convert?

TXT strips all timing and formatting, leaving a clean transcript of just the spoken text.
A plain transcript is easy to search, index, quote, and feed into translation or AI tools.
TXT is useful for building scripts, articles, or documentation from existing subtitles.
Removing timestamps makes the text readable as ordinary prose without subtitle clutter.

Format Differences

TTML and TXT use different internal structures; the converter normalizes the source cues into the target layout.
TTML uses begin/end attributes in seconds or clock values; TXT uses undefined.
TTML may carry styling or markup; TXT carries plain text only, so unsupported formatting is removed.

Common Use Cases

Transcript Extraction

Pull a clean plain-text transcript from subtitles for notes, scripts, or documentation.

Search & Indexing

Index subtitle content as searchable text without timing noise.

AI & Translation Input

Feed clean text into translation tools, summarizers, or other AI workflows.
