ChSrt

Similar to the last year, this year I also took a bit of break from writing here. A bit of family time here and there is not a bad thing. :)

But that doesn’t mean I stopped playing with computers altogether. In addition to updates to applications I already maintain, I also had some time for personal projects. And I decided to share one of those personal projects here - just in case somebody finds it useful.

As somebody who edits subtitles from time to time, I really love Subtitle Editor. It’s a really powerful tool and it literally covers everything one might need around subtitles. However, while it works on Linux, it simply isn’t that nice to use from command line. Especially when one has simple subtitle needs.

So, I went to reinvent the wheel and called it ChSrt.

This is a really simple subtitle editor with a fraction of features that I most comonly needed. In general, I just call it with two arguments that perform all fixes in-place.

chsrt -ia *.srt

If interested, you can check it out. I will expand it as I need new features but it will always be driven by what I need.
