Clean Subtitles
Flawless Data

Data quality is non-negotiable for LLM training and academic research. Learn the professional method to remove timestamps and ASR noise for truly pristine text data.

The Pitfall of Raw
SRT/VTT Files

Standard subtitle files are poison for high-stakes projects. Feeding noisy data into your LLM or research model doesn't just lower quality—it actively compromises your results.

How Raw Data Corrupts Your Work:

  • Timestamps & Tags

    Useless structural data that confuses tokenizers and requires tedious pre-processing.

  • ASR Noise

    Filler words like 'um,' 'uh,' and non-speech tags like [Applause] pollute semantic meaning.

  • Inconsistent Formatting

    Different videos produce varied outputs, creating a data-wrangling nightmare for scaling.

How Our "Clean Mode" Works

Our engine goes beyond simple find-and-replace. It uses a multi-stage parser to surgically remove noise and deliver pure, high-quality text.

01. Structural Tag Elimination

Precisely strips away all SRT/VTT timecodes, sequence numbers, and formatting tags without affecting the core text.

02. ASR Noise Filtering

Identifies and removes common Automatic Speech Recognition artifacts like [Music] or [Applause] tags.

03. Format Unification

Consolidates all text fragments into a single, continuous paragraph, ready for any text processor or model.
