Convert MP3 to SRT

Understanding MP3 and SRT file formats

MP3 is a popular audio file format known for its ability to compress audio data without significantly affecting sound quality. It is widely used for music and audio streaming due to its small file size and compatibility with most media players.

SRT (SubRip Subtitle) is a file format used for subtitles. It contains plain text with time codes indicating when each subtitle should appear and disappear on the screen. SRT files are commonly used in video playback to provide captions or translations.

Converting MP3 to SRT

Converting an MP3 file to an SRT file involves transcribing the audio content into text and then formatting it with time codes. This process is essential for creating subtitles or captions for audio content.
