Does this caption sound natural?

Real-world English phrases I extracted from TV shows, along with their phonetic transcription.

or maybe this one?:

A collection of real-world English phrases from TV shows, along with their phonetic transcription.

Which one sounds better? I need to caption a folder which contains these files with phrases.
 
If I remove TV shows, do I need to remove the comma?

You don't need to. I would use a comma there, but many would not.
 
That's a lot of words for the title of a computer folder.
 
I will go with this: "A collection of real-world English phrases from TV shows."
 
I still think that's too long for a computer folder name. Is that what you're talking about or are you going to write that on the outside of a paper folder?
If it's a computer folder, I'd call it "Real-life English phrases from TV".

It's a computer folder. Thank you so much! I think this should work as well:

" English" is a much broader and more general term compared to "English phrases".
