Merge Transcript Lines
Join fragmented transcript lines into proper paragraph-length blocks. Many transcription services export one sentence per line. This tool merges them into readable paragraphs by grouping lines separated by blank lines.
All processing happens in your browser; transcript text is never uploaded
Features
- Merges consecutive non-blank lines into paragraphs
- Preserves intentional paragraph breaks (blank lines)
- Configurable minimum line length for merging
- Download as .txt file
- Browser-only
How to use it
- Paste your line-broken transcript into the input.
- Adjust the merge threshold if needed.
- Merged paragraphs appear in the output.
- Copy or download as .txt.
Use cases
- Cleaning Otter.ai, Rev, or Whisper transcript exports
- Formatting fragmented transcripts for publication
- Reducing whitespace in long meeting transcripts before editing
Limitations
- Short lines are joined inside each paragraph while blank-line breaks are preserved.
- Unusual transcript exports may still need manual cleanup.
- Review output before using it in publishing, captions, reports, or archives.
