Converts standard subtitle files for each chapter of each lesson into a single text file. Version 2 just got released! What's new?
So, I was looking at some online course, which come with subtitles. The website had a straighforward way to download the course video files and subtitle files (*.srt).
I noticed that ...
- I was spending too much time in just typing what was being spoken to take my notes so now I can simply copy-paste
- Sometimes had to shuffle to multiple videos if I was looking for something in particular to refresh my memory so now I can open the text file and simply search to pin point the corresponding video clip in the course videos
Another positive side effect is it let's the student set the offsets of subtitles ( I actually, developed this capability to fine tune a French movie I was watching and the only English subtitle were little off from what was being spoken )
The srt file follows the standard format.
Later it was found that not all srt files were formatted exactly the same way, and the program would not be able to match the pattern. Hence, more Regular Expressions were later added for other known variants.
