SRTs, or SubRip Text files, are commonly used in the context of video subtitles. The name “SRT” comes from the software SubRip, which was one of the first programs capable of extracting subtitles from video files. The “.srt” file extension stands for “SubRip Text” and signifies that the file contains text-based subtitles that are time-coded to synchronize with the video.
The foundation of the SRT format is simple: it consists of a sequence of numbered subtitles, each with a time stamp that indicates when the subtitle should appear and disappear on screen. The straightforward, plain text nature of SRT files makes them easy to create and edit, contributing to their widespread use across various media platforms.
