Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Caption Cleaner remove subtitle timestamps?
It parses VTT and SRT format patterns (e.g. 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.500) and line numbers using regular expressions, returning clean text paragraphs.
Can I paste SRT file contents directly into the tool?
Yes. Paste raw SRT or VTT subtitle text, and the cleaner outputs continuous readable transcript text.
