Will line breaks be preserved?

Each subtitle entry becomes one paragraph. Multi-line cues are joined with a space. This gives clean prose instead of broken poetry.

Can I use this for AI summarization?

Yes. The resulting TXT is ideal input for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any LLM that summarizes transcripts.

Can I paste transcripts from YouTube?

If you have the raw SRT, paste it here. For a one-click path from YouTube directly to text, use our YouTube Subtitle Downloader and select TXT format.
