Introduction

“The WebVTT format (Web Video Text Tracks) is a format intended for marking up external text track resources. The main use for WebVTT files is captioning video content.” (WebVTT, retr. April 23 2012).

The format

The WebVTT format is fairly complex and surprisingly doesn't use XML.

Simple example (taken from the draft specification)

WEBVTT

00:11.000 --> 00:13.000
<v Roger Bingham>We are in New York City

00:13.000 --> 00:16.000
<v Roger Bingham>We're actually at the Lucern Hotel, just down the street
