Extractor of Burned-in Subtitles to .srt
It pulls burned-in subtitles straight from the video image into an .srt file. My own solution instead of buying software.
About the project
Sometimes I have a video where the subtitles are burned hard into the image and can't be separated out. Instead of hunting for and buying someone else's software, I made my own mini tool that reads the subtitles from the image and pulls them into .srt.
Exactly the kind of small thing where vibe coding is faster than looking for a ready-made solution. I have it tailored, without unnecessary features.
What you get
- Subtitles from the image into an editable .srt.
- No extra paid software.
- A custom tool, no fluff.
How it works (under the hood)
- CCExtractor + Tesseract OCR (Leptonica).
- Reads text from the image, exports to .srt.
- Driven by Bash, core in C/C++.
