SRT to Word — subtitles in a table you can edit
Turn an .srt file into a Word document: a table with the number, start, end and text of every line, for review, translation or a script.
About this conversion
For reviewing a translation, marking corrections or handing a script to someone who does not use subtitle software, a table works best: number, start, end and the line itself, one row each, in a .docx that opens in Word, Google Docs or Pages. Italics markers and positioning codes are left out of the text. If what you want is the dialogue as running text instead, “Word — transcript in paragraphs” in Save as joins the lines and breaks on a pause or a change of speaker.
Just want to look inside it?
The same tool without converting anything: open the file and read it.
Fix it before you save it
The file stays open after it is read, so the format is picked at the end: the same subtitles can leave here as VTT, ASS, SBV, SUB (MicroDVD), TTML / DFXP, SAMI (.smi), LRC, TXT, Excel or PDF. Before that you can move every line earlier or later, stretch the timing to a different release of the film, remove [DOOR SLAMS] and speaker names, put a second language under the first, and see which lines break the rules studios follow — too long, too fast, overlapping.
Questions
- Can I edit the Word file and turn it back into SRT?
- Not from Word. Edit the lines here instead — click any line in the table — and save as SRT.
- The table is too long to print.
- “Print / PDF” in Save as fits far more lines on a page.
