SRT subtitle file
An SRT subtitle file is a plain-text file that pairs lines of text with start and end timestamps, so the text can be displayed in sync with a video.
What it means
SRT (SubRip Subtitle) is one of the oldest and most widely supported subtitle formats. Each entry is a numbered block: an index, a start and end time, and one or more lines of text. Because it is plain text, you can open it in any editor, and almost every video player and editing tool can read it.
For a meeting, an SRT transcript beats a flat text file: every line is timestamped, so you can jump straight to the moment something was said.
How this relates to Autorec
