#### Converts VobSub subtitles (.idx/.sub format) into .srt subtitles

VobSub2SRT is a simple command line program to convert .idx / .sub subtitles
into .srt text subtitles by using OCR. It is based on code from the MPlayer
project - a really really great movie player. Some minor parts are copied
from ffmpeg/avutil headers. Tesseract is used as OCR software.

An example of using the tool is below, note that you can pass a `--blacklist` of characters to help the OCR recognition - there is also a sub-command `vobsub2srt.with-basic-blacklist` which has a basic blacklist. If you want to see the processing of each line you can pass `--verbose`.

If you have the files `subtitles.idx subtitles.sub` simply run the command `vobsub2srt subtitles` this will generate a new file called `subtitles.srt`.

This is an unofficial snap and is not necessarily endorsed or officially maintained by the upstream developers.
