SMI to VTT

SMI (SAMI) is used to process, distribute, and transfer a wide range of subtitle materials in a specific subtitle format. VTT (WebVTT), on the other hand, is a simple language that structures and formats documents containing both time and text details. In certain circumstances, you may need to convert SMI files, generated by particular proprietary software, into VTT files to make them compatible with multiple platforms.
