SRT-NORMALISE(1)

💖 SRT-NORMALISE 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for srt-normalise, and it lives in section 1 of the manual (iykyk, that's the user commands girlies). it's literally an SRT subtitle processing tool and i'm obsessed 💅

✨ NAME ✨

srt-normalise — the SRT subtitle processing tool that fixes your messy subs, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's the whole vibe, fr fr:

usage: srt normalise [-h] [--input FILE] [--output FILE] [--inplace]
       [--debug]

       [--ignore-parsing-errors] [--encoding ENCODING]

so what does it actually do? it takes a badly formatted SRT file and outputs a strictly valid one. that's it. that's the glow-up. you hand it chaos, it hands you back a valid subtitle file. main character energy ✨🦋

🫶 options: 🫶

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. whenever you're lost, she's there 💖
• --input FILE, -i FILE — the file to process. default is stdin, so if you don't say anything she'll just read from stdin, periodt.
• --output FILE, -o FILE — the file to write to. default is stdout, so she'll just yeet it out to stdout unless you tell her otherwise 🌈
• --inplace, -p — modify file in place. careful bestie, she's editing the actual file 👀
• --debug — enable debug logging. turn this on when you wanna see everything going on 🔥
• --ignore-parsing-errors, -c — try to keep going, even if there are parsing errors. she's resilient like that 💪
• --encoding ENCODING, -e ENCODING — the encoding to read/write files in. default is utf8 🧚

🎀 examples: 🎀

normalise a subtitle, like so:

$ srt normalise -i bad.srt -o good.srt

bad in, good out. iconic behaviour honestly ⭐

---

that's the whole page bestie, go forth and normalise 💜

lowkey a tiny note: this was srt-normalise version 3.5.3, dated June 2023 — so if your copy is a different version, check her again 🙈

bye bye, slay, and may all your subtitles be strictly valid ✨💖👑
