It is written in pure Guile Scheme. I wrote this software to handle converting the growing number of translations of the FSF's new "User Liberation"[0] video from SRT to WebVTT format so that visitors could see the subtitles in their native language from the comfort of their web browser. The only pre-existing, easy-to-use software that I found to do this was SaSS, and the underlying source code (which is free) is written in PHP and has no CLI. So, I decided that the world needed something better. :) It has worked well enough for my needs thus far. I hope that it may be useful to someone else. The 0.1 source release can be found at . The home page for srt2vtt can be found at . Happy hacking, fellow Guilers!
