Aren't subtitles something you add to video files rather than MP3 files?
As I've already outlined in post #12, this plugin is just a GUI wrapper to:
- Use MS Windows SAPI5 Text-to-Speech builtin utilities to create a .WAV file from a plain text string extracted from a single chapter of a calibre book.
- Use the commandline version of the free LAME.exe Windows utility to convert .WAV to .MP3 with appropriate MP3tags for the book.
I don't know of any LAME options which would create a subtitles file.
I seem to remember that I did consider adding the chapter text as MP3 lyrics, but, at the time, I had no success being able to do this automatically during MP3 creation. I'd be willing to look at that again if anyone wants to share knowledge about how to do it with commandline LAME (if it's possible).
