SRT subtitle guide

SRT is one of the simplest ways to store subtitles. It is plain text: numbered blocks, timestamps, and lines of dialogue.

Example block

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Welcome to Audio to SRT.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,000
We turn speech into a subtitle file.

Where SRT works well

Editors, many desktop players, and most social pipelines accept SRT. If you need web-native captions with styling, sometimes VTT is a better fit - see SRT vs VTT.
