About LRC

LRC is a format designed to display synchronized lyrics for audio files, most commonly used by music players and karaoke software. The format is a simple text file with a timestamp at the beginning of each line of lyrics. As the audio plays, the player displays the line of text that corresponds to the current time, creating a simple but effective karaoke-style experience.

About SRT

SRT (SubRip Text) is the most common and widely supported subtitle format. It's a simple plain text file that contains sequential numbers for each subtitle, start and end timestamps, and the subtitle text itself. Its simplicity and universal compatibility make it the go-to choice for most web videos, streaming platforms, and local media players.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use LRC files for video subtitles?

LRC is not suitable for video subtitles. It only has a start timestamp for each line and no end time, meaning the text would remain on screen until the next line appears. It's specifically designed for the line-by-line nature of song lyrics and lacks the features needed for proper dialogue subtitling.

What is the difference between simple and enhanced LRC?

Simple LRC format provides a timestamp for each line. Enhanced LRC format adds the ability to have timestamps for each word within a line, allowing for a more precise word-by-word highlighting effect in karaoke applications.

Can I add colors or change fonts in an SRT file?

No, the SRT format does not support any styling. It is a plain text format. If you need styling, you should use a more advanced format like VTT or ASS.

What does 'hearing impaired' mean in SRT files?

Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) often include descriptions of non-verbal sounds, like '[door slams]' or '[music playing]'. While SRT can contain this text, VTT is often better for more structured accessibility features.
