+vobsub2srt (convert VOBSUB subtitles to SRT)
+
+VobSub2SRT is a simple command line program to convert =.idx= / =.sub= subtitles
+into =.srt= text subtitles by using OCR. It is based on code from the
+MPlayer project. Some minor parts are copied from ffmpeg/avutil headers.
+Tesseract is used as OCR software.
+
+vobsub2srt is released under the GPL3+ license. The MPlayer code included is
+GPL2+ licensed.
+
+The quality of the OCR depends on the text in the subtitles. Currently the code
+does not use any preprocessing. But you can correct mistakes in the =.srt=
+files with a text editor or a special subtitle editor.
