pyasstosrt

pyasstosrt – this tool will help you convert Advanced SubStation Alpha (ASS/SSA) subtitle files to SubRip (SRT) files.

Support for str path:

from pyasstosrt import Subtitle
sub = Subtitle('sub.ass')
sub.export()

Support for all Path-like objects, instead of only pathlib’s Path:

from pathlib import Path
from pyasstosrt import Subtitle
path = Path('sub.ass')
sub = Subtitle(path)
sub.export()

You can get a sheet with dialogue by specifying output_dialogues.

from pathlib import Path
from pyasstosrt import Subtitle
path = Path('sub.ass')
sub = Subtitle(path)
sub.export(output_dialogues=True)

If you want to remove effects from text, you can use the removing_effects.

from pyasstosrt import Subtitle
sub = Subtitle('sub.ass', removing_effects=True)
sub.export()

You can enable the deletion of duplicate lines with the rearrangement of start and end times.

from pyasstosrt import Subtitle
sub = Subtitle('sub.ass', remove_duplicates=True)
sub.export()

CLI

pyasstosrt export /Users/user/sub/sub.ass

Optional You can specify an export folder.

pyasstosrt export /Users/user/sub/sub.ass --output-dir /Users/user/sub/srt

Optional If you want to remove effects from text, you can use the —remove-effects flag.

pyasstosrt export /Users/user/sub/sub.ass --remove-effects --output-dir /Users/user/sub/srt

Optional If you need to remove duplicates, you can use the —remove-duplicates flag.

pyasstosrt export /Users/user/sub/sub.ass --remove-duplicates

Optional You can use the flags together —remove-duplicates —remove-effects

pyasstosrt export /Users/user/sub/sub.ass --remove-duplicates --remove-effects

Most users will want to simply install the latest version, hosted on PyPI:

$ pip install 'pyasstosrt[cli]'

If you just want to use it as a library and don’t need the CLI, you can omit the [cli] extra.
