LRC vs TTML Format Comparison

Timed Text Markup Language (.ttml)

  • XML-based timed text format
  • Used in broadcast and streaming delivery pipelines
  • Stores cues with begin and end attributes
  • Good for structured subtitle interchange
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tt xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml">
<body><div>
<p begin="00:00:12.500" end="00:00:16.800">First line of lyrics</p>
</div></body>
</tt>
