Label2Srt Converter Files

Audacity "Label2Srt" Convertor Tool

*********
*Purpose*
*********

This small Java application converts the text label files produced by Audacity into SubRip (.srt) files, typically associated with subtitles and their timings from videos files.

**************
*Requirements*
**************

Tested with Java Version 7 Update 45 but should work with lower versions.

****************************
*How to and Important Notes*
****************************

In order to do the conversion, first create labels in your audio file one of two ways:

(Method 1) Drop a label at specific location with CTRL-B and stretch it to create a "time span" for the subtitle. [b]This is the preferred method.[/b]
(Method 2) Drop a label at with CTRL+B. Drop a second label at another position. Label2Srt treats the first label as the start of the subtitle and the second label as the end of the subtitle. Repeat as many times as you want. 

Label2Srt deals with both cases. In Method 2, a time span is created in the SRT from Label 1 to Label 2, then from Label 2 to Label 3, then from Label 3 to Label 4, and so on.

Next, select File -> Export Labels
Next, execute the Label2Srt program using the instructions in the section "Executing this application" (just double click on it)
Finally, select the label file with "Select" button, then press "Convert". The new SRT file is saved to the same directory as the label file. 

**************************
*RUNNING THIS APPLICATION*
**************************

In both operating systems (Windows and Linux) you can simply double click on the jar file.

In Windows, you might also try right clicking on the file and selecting "Open With -> Java(TM) Platform SE Binary".

Optionally, execute, 

java -jar Label2Srt.jar 

via the Windows / Linux command line.
