I'd like to know if there could be any possible way to get just the text from the subtitles, so instead of getting:

00:00:16.010 --> 00:00:16.539
caption

I would like to get just caption

It's possible using regex to replace string of text. You can use this tools after subtitle downloaded:
sed (any linux distribution) or
notepad++ (windows)

Example in sed to replacing timestamp:
sed -E 's/[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}//' subtitlefile.srt

Of course this will leave -->, so you can using sed again to remove -->:
sed -E 's/-->//' subtitlefile.srt
