Export subtitle file as consecutive text without breaks
D
Delf
It seems to be impossible to simply export the text of a subtitle file as a normal text without any line breaks. I'd like my text export to be basically a paragraph without line breaks, so one consecutive paragraph so that I can easily paste it into a program like Descript as Overdub text without prior massaging.

Hey Delf,
To automatically eliminate line breaks, use Text Cleaner: https://textcleaner.net/

Copy Entire Source Transcript Without Line Breaks and Timecodes for CAT Tool Integration
S

We would like it to be possible to copy the entire source transcript without line breaks and timecodes so that it can be implemented in a CAT tool. This would enable us to considerably improve our workflow and consistency.
Currently, we can copy one subtitle at a time (which is a big improvement).
But imagine if the AI did a poor job of translation and the file contained more than 800 subtitles. That's a lot of copying and pasting.

Andrew Moll, I mainly use memoQ and SDL Trados. What I want is to be able to simply copy and paste all the source text without timecode into another MT such as DeepL to be able to make changes and avoid repeating certain words.
