Generate WebVTT and SRT Captions Automatically with Node.js
This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to generate WebVTT and SRT captions automatically using Node.js with the help of Deepgram's API. The author explains the importance of captioning for accessibility purposes, especially in situations where audio might be difficult to hear or understand. The two formats discussed are very similar but have slight differences in their syntax. The article also introduces a new feature in Deepgram's Node.js SDK that simplifies the process of generating captions by providing .toWebVTT() and .toSRT() methods.
