A library of time-aligned subtitles for language learning and media sync.
This repository ships subtitles only. Matching audio / video is not included — each theme README explains how to download the corresponding media and how to use it with these files (same basename as the media so players can auto-load).

| Level | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Language | en |
| 2 | Theme / series | PascalCase, no spaces or hyphens: EnglishPod, DowntonAbbey, NewConceptEnglish |
| 3+ | Formats, or book → formats, or season → episode → formats | srt/, Book2/srt/, or S01/E01/srt/ |
Book themes nest BookN/ then formats; lesson basenames match the media. Episodic paths use Sxx/Exx/; subtitle files still use SxxExx… basenames to match media. Episodic themes support full episode and clip naming; by default they ship clips only.
File naming (same basename as the matching media so players can auto-load):
| Kind | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Full unit | {id}.srt |
englishpod_0001dg.srt, S01E01.srt |
| Clip (1×) | {id}-t{start}.srt |
S01E01-t001211.srt |
| Clip + duration | {id}-t{start}-d{duration}.srt |
S01E01-t001211-d000200.srt |
| Clip + rate | {id}-t{start}-r{rate}.srt |
S01E01-t001211-r2.srt |
| Clip + both | {id}-t{start}-d{duration}-r{rate}.srt |
S01E01-t001211-d000200-r2.srt |
| Field | Meaning | When to use |
|---|---|---|
start |
Clip start on the source timeline (HHMMSS) |
Always required for clips |
duration |
Clip file length (HHMMSS), not source span |
Only when two clips share the same start |
rate |
Playback speed vs source (e.g. 2, 1.5) |
Only when ≠ 1× |
Source end is not in the filename: end = start + duration × rate (use media/srt length when duration is omitted). Clip naming is supported for every theme; flat and book themes often only ship the full file, while episodic themes default to clips. Details in CONTEXT.md.
| Path | Language | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| en/EnglishPod | English | Subtitles for EnglishPod Dialog tracks |
| en/DowntonAbbey | English | Downton Abbey clip subtitles (episodic; full-episode naming supported) |
| en/NewConceptEnglish | English | New Concept English Book 2 lesson subtitles (book-nested; full lessons) |
