📚 A Little Knowledge on Subtitle Formats
Many video subtitles are stored in formats like SRT (SubRip Text) or VTT (Web Video Text Tracks). Both are plain text files, but they structure the data differently. SRT uses a simple sequence of a number, a timestamp range (00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,400), and the subtitle text. VTT, a more modern standard associated with HTML5, is similar but offers more advanced features like text styling and positioning. This tool is built to recognize the structural patterns of both formats, allowing it to intelligently extract only the spoken text and discard the timing metadata.
