Limitations and privacy
Transcript cleanup is a formatting aid, not a fact checker. Subtitle styling and timing are intentionally removed when SRT or VTT files are imported, and filler-like words can matter in context, so compare important output with the source. Transcript Cleaner reads pasted text and imported SRT, VTT, or TXT files locally in your browser. The source and cleaned text are not uploaded or stored by FullToolsWala.
