SRT Speaker is a specialized tool designed to convert subtitle files (in SubRip or WebVTT format) into spoken audio. This application can be particularly useful for creating audio tracks that match a video's subtitles, allowing users to listen to the dialogue and descriptions without needing to read the screen.
The software offers two main functions: it can either speak the subtitle text aloud in real-time or generate a WAV audio file for later use. In both cases, the voice-over is synchronized with the timing of the original subtitle file, ensuring the audio matches the on-screen events. The process of generating a WAV file is also highly efficient, operating about 10 times faster than speaking the text in real time.
Key features of SRT Speaker include:
- Synchronized Audio Output: Whether speaking aloud or generating a file, the audio output is timed to go along with the original subtitle time codes.
- Automatic Speech Rate Adjustment: The app can automatically adjust the speaking speed to ensure the text for each subtitle entry fits within its designated time frame.
- Subtitle Cleaning and Saving: It can clean the source subtitle file by removing HTML tags and other formatting. It can also save a new, adjusted SRT file alongside the produced audio file.
- Flexible Storage Options: Users have the choice to save the generated WAV audio file to either the device's internal memory or an external SD card.
- Process Logging: During the speaking or file generation process, the application writes messages to a trace or error window for feedback and troubleshooting.
SRT Speaker serves as a practical utility for anyone looking to transform written subtitle content into a synchronized audio experience, whether for accessibility needs or for convenience.
