Hi all, thought I would toss out this inquiry…!  Has any one used Tika to 
extract subtitles from typical video files?   I’ve done some research, and it 
appears the common formats, .SRT, .SBV, .VTT, and even a plain text format all 
look like slightly different versions of the below (taken from a .SRT file:

00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,729

on basic addition.

They have a time range, and then then the corresponding text.   It seems like a 
great use case for Tika would be to handle various different types of embedded 
close captioning files, and emit them in the single standard structure.

Before I get too far down the path, thought I would see if anyone else has done 
this in the open source space!

Eric
