# SRT (SubRip Subtitle)

The *SRT* (*SubRip Subtitle*) format is a straightforward and widely supported subtitle format compatible with most video players and editing software.

# Format

* Files consist of sequentially numbered subtitle blocks.
* Each block contains four components:
  1. **Sequence number**: A numeric counter indicating the order of the subtitle.
  2. **Timecode**: The start and end times, separated by `-->`. The standard format is `hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds`. LingoHub supports both the comma `,` and the period `.` as decimal separators for milliseconds.
  3. **Text**: The subtitle content, which can span multiple lines.
  4. **Blank line**: A mandatory blank line marking the end of the subtitle block.
* LingoHub uses the timecode range (e.g., `00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,500`) as the segment key.
