This format stores times as frame numbers, so it has no meaning without a rate. We don't guess one.

If the MKV already carries subtitles, the page offers them first, because taking them out is instant and exact. Otherwise the speech is transcribed, and you can copy the text or download TXT, SRT or VTT. A film's surround soundtrack (AC-3 or DTS) is big, and it can pass the 95 MB limit in under half an hour; the page warns you before you start.
Questions
How do I convert MKV to text?
Drop the .mkv above. Pick a subtitle track if one is offered, or let it transcribe the speech, then copy the text.
I want the subtitles as an SRT file, not text.
Use MKV to SRT, which saves the track or the transcript as SRT.
Why does it say the sound is too big?
Surround soundtracks are large. Make a stereo copy of the video in a tool like HandBrake, or cut it into parts, and try again.
