What SRT contains
SRT includes a sequence number, start/end timestamps, and the text. It’s the default format for subtitles and many editor workflows.
Common issues
- lines too long to read
- timing drift when speech is unclear
- broken words when language is forced incorrectly
Make SRT better at the source
1) enhance audio when needed
2) choose the correct language (or auto-detect)
3) review overlapping sections
Summary
Editors want clean segmentation and reliable timestamps. Start with clean speech and stable language settings.
