Subtitle / Audacity Label file

It is possible to import subtitles that are stored in the SubRip *.srt format: File > Import > Subtitle / Audacity Label File.... HTML and similar formatting tags are filtered out and multiple speakers are merged into one. The correct encoding of the file has to be specified in the import window.

Audacity Label files are a specific kind of tab-delimited text (*.txt) files. They can be imported here without the configuration step that is part of the general Import CSV/Tab-delimited Text File import.

If this import is started when a document is already open, the imported contents is added to that transcription. Otherwise a new transcription document is created.
