SRT (SubRip Subtitle file format)

The SRT (SubRip Subtitle) format is a simple text-based standard used to display subtitles alongside videos. It organizes subtitles by numbered sequences, each with start and end times indicating when the text should appear and disappear on the screen. The text itself appears between these timestamps. SRT files are easy to create and edit with basic text editors and are widely compatible with media players. They help viewers understand dialogue and sounds, enhancing accessibility and viewing experience, especially in noisy environments or for language learners.
