Hello Readers. Recently, I discovered that the subtitles on DVDs are stored as images. I also figured, that those image subtitles cannot be attached to ogm or mkv files. So I read a few tutorials and happened to install the "media-video/subtitleripper". This program is designed to convert the image-subtitles to text-subtitles (srt format). It's using a program for (handwritten) text recognition, and requires alot of corrections.
Now to the interesting part. I decided to write my own application to do the job, and it worked out very good. Better than I expected. So I decided to release it. You can download it from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sub2text/ It is however the first time I release or even work on a public project. Please have a look at what I did - and try it for yourselves. I need people testing it. Greetings, Chris.
