Installation
Install this tool using pip:
pip install webvtt-to-json
Usage
To output JSON for a WebVTT file:
webvtt-to-json subtitles.vtt
This will output to standard output. Use -o filename to send it to a specified file.
Subtitles can often include duplicate lines. Add -d or --dedupe to attempt to remove those duplicates from the output:
webvtt-to-json --dedupe subtitles.vtt
Use -s or --single to output single "line" keys instead of a "lines" array.
You can also use:
python -m webvtt_to_json ...
