Document Import

Multiple Format Support

Sub!t supports importing plain text files (.txt, .md) and Microsoft Word documents (.docx). Word files are automatically converted to plain text, preserving only the text content while stripping all formatting. This allows rapid preparation of subtitle scripts from existing speeches, lyrics, or scripts—no retyping required.

• Direct import of .txt and .md files
• .docx files converted to plain text (formatting removed)
• Automatic paragraph and line break handling
• Support for sending 1–5 lines at once

• Clear Formatting: One-click removal of all formatting (text color, background color, bold, italic) from selected text
