Good to know
- Reading the script before watching is one of the easiest ways to follow a film in a new language.
- Stage directions like [laughs] and labels like JOHN: are removed.
- Paragraph mode starts a new paragraph after a pause of two seconds or more.
What the transcript looks like
Numbers, timestamps, italics and labels are removed. In paragraph mode, lines spoken without a long pause are joined into one paragraph.
¿Dónde estabas anoche? En casa, te lo juro. No mientas, Pablo te vio en el bar. Vale, vale. Estuve con Marta.
Questions
Can I paste the transcript into a translator?
Yes. Copy the text and paste it into any translator or reading app. Paragraph mode gives translators more context than single lines.
Can I keep the timestamps?
Yes. Turn on timestamps and each line or paragraph starts with its time, like [00:12:05].
Which files work?
SRT and WebVTT. Convert ASS or SSA files to SRT first with the ASS to SRT tool.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read by your browser on your own device and never sent to a server. Once the page has loaded it even works offline.
