KI 2737 File Formats Whisper

A brief description of the different output file formats of Whisper

JSON:
A JSON file (JavaScript Object Notation) is a file that contains structured text data but does not include file data such as documents or images. The contents of JSON files can be read using programs like Notepad on Windows. JSON is often used to structure data that can be integrated into applications or software, for example, NVIVO.

LRC:
An LRC file is a text-based file that contains song lyrics for an audio file. When the audio file is played using a music or audio player, the LRC file is read simultaneously, displaying the lyrics in sync with the song. LRC files include timestamps to control when the text is displayed. Typically, LRC files share the same name as the corresponding audio file, such as audio.mp3 and audio.lrc. LRC files are similar to subtitle files like SRT.

SRT:
SubRip Subtitle files (SRT), with the file extension .srt, are a popular subtitle format. These files are used to add captions to video content after production, making videos more accessible to a wider audience.

TEXT:
A text file (TXT) contains plain text without any formatting or styling.

TSV:
Tab-separated values (TSV) is a simple text-based file format for storing tabular data. Each row in the table is separated by a new line, and values within a row are separated by tab characters. TSV is a "delimiter-separated values" format, similar to CSV (comma-separated values).

TXT:
TXT files contain plain text without any formatting or visual elements.

VTT:
VTT (Web Video Text Tracks) is a file format used to store subtitles or captions for video content. VTT files often function as transcripts for online meetings or webinars. When recording a session on platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, the VTT file is generated as a separate document.
