ASS to TXT Subtitle Converter

The converter reads the Text field from each Dialogue line in the [Events] section. This is the actual subtitle text displayed on screen. All other fields (Layer, Start, End, Style, Name, margins, Effect) are discarded. Override tags inside curly braces within the Text field are also removed.

All override tags in curly braces are stripped. This includes font size ({\fs28}), color ({\c&HFF&}), positioning ({\pos(x,y)}), blur ({\blur2}), karaoke ({\k20}), fade ({\fad(200,100)}), and drawing ({\p1}) tags. Only the text outside the braces is preserved.

Drawing commands ({\p1}...{\p0}) create vector graphics for signs and logos. Override blocks are removed, but raw drawing path text outside those blocks can remain. Review drawing-heavy files and remove unwanted path text manually if needed.

No. The TXT output contains only dialogue text. All timing information is discarded. If you need timestamps, convert to SRT or VTT instead.

Karaoke timing tags ({\k}, {\kf}, {\ko}) mark syllable-level timing for singing effects. These are removed during conversion. The text content of each syllable is preserved, but the timing data is discarded.

Convert to TXT when you need only the text content for translation, proofreading, search indexing, or NLP processing. SRT includes timestamps that add noise for text-only applications. TXT is cleaner when timing is irrelevant.
