Becky,
You might be able to do a two-step automated conversion. I ran a TTML file through http://subtitleconverter.net/ to yield an .SRT, which I was then able to convert to a text transcript using Rev.com's Caption Converter (http://www.rev.com/captionconverter). I lost my line breaks, but otherwise it worked pretty well.

> Hi Everyone, I am looking for insights on whether it's possible to create transcripts from timed text files. I have good, individually reviewed closed caption files.
I would imagine that with a find and replace option and some regular expressions this process could be semi-automated quickly. Combine that with some sort of script such as Perl and it really could be automated. I haven't looked to see if something like that already exists but someone should be able to create it pretty quickly.

Subject: [WebAIM] creating transcripts from timed text files
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for insights on whether it's possible to create transcripts from timed text files. I have good, individually reviewed closed caption files. Just need to take the next step to good transcripts. My team feels like this is a totally manual process. Taking the reviewed text from the caption files, taking the timing out, removing the timing breaks, and producing a readable transcript.
I'm curious if there is any technology, service, or otherwise that can work with a part of this process? Even if editorial is required in the end, I'd like to believe there is something that might help in the beginning.
Thanks for your insight.
Becky
