post: generating subtitles for songs that ship without timestamps

Tutorial on turning untimed AI-generated audio into LRC + SRT: align ASR word
timestamps against the KNOWN lyrics (SequenceMatcher) instead of trusting a
transcript, then a governor that rejects impossible anchors, refills runs by
unit-proportional duration, and enforces a 1.2 s minimum line gap.

Ships 18 English songs (342 subtitle lines, mean anchor coverage 0.96, 9/18
fully anchored) with synced lyrics plus downloadable .srt per track. Documents
both player bugs and the headless-Chrome numeric probe that finally caught them.

+title: "Generating Subtitles for Songs That Ship Without Timestamps"
+description: "AI music tools give you audio and nothing else — no line timings, no karaoke. Here is the pipeline I use to produce LRC and SRT subtitles for 18 songs, why plain transcription fails, and the two bugs that made the lyrics box scroll to the bottom."
+pubDate: 2026-10-20
+category: tutorials
+tags: ["subtitles", "lrc", "srt", "whisper", "forced-alignment", "ai-music", "python"]
+draft: false
+---
+Every AI music tool I have tried returns the same shape of output: an audio
+file. Not one of them tells you *when* each line is sung. That is fine if you
+only want to listen, and useless the moment you want lyrics on screen — a
+karaoke line, a video caption, a scrolling block under a player.
+
+Timing is the whole problem. The audio is the easy part.
+
+This is the pipeline I ended up with, running on 18 English songs generated
+locally, plus the two places it broke in the browser. Everything below is
+reproducible: the only thing it needs from you is the **lyrics you already
+wrote**.
+
+## What you actually need
+
+Two subtitle formats, one shared data structure:
+
+| Format | Used by | Shape |
+|---|---|---|
+| **LRC** | music players, karaoke blocks, `<audio>` overlays | `[mm:ss.xx]lyric line` |
+| **SRT** | VLC, YouTube, Premiere, ffmpeg burn-in | index / `hh:mm:ss,mmm --> hh:mm:ss,mmm` / text |
+
+Both are just *line → start time* (+ end time for SRT). So the real task is:
+**given a list of lyric lines and an audio file, find where each line starts.**
+
+## Why "just transcribe it" fails
+
+The obvious approach: run speech recognition, take its segments, write them
+out. It fails for two reasons.
+
+**1. Recognition of singing is much worse than recognition of speech.** The
+model is fighting instruments, reverb, and vowel stretching. On my batch the
+word error rate on sung Mandarin hovered around 25–35%; dense electronic
+mixes were worse.
+
+**2. It drops whole sections.** On a 140 BPM remix, one song's entire first
+verse simply never appeared in the transcript — the vocal is buried and the
+model moved on. Two other songs lost their outros.
+
+A transcript with holes cannot become subtitles with no holes. But here is the
+reframe that fixes everything:
+
+> You are not transcribing. You are **aligning**. You already know the exact
+> words — they are your lyrics. You only need the audio for *anchors*.
+
+## The inversion that makes it work
+
+Feed the recogniser to get word-level timestamps, then align its output
+against your known lyrics with a longest-common-subsequence diff. You do not
+care whether the recogniser got the words right — you care that the words it
+*did* get are in the right order, because each match is a timestamp anchor.
+
+```python
+import difflib
+
+ref = [u for line in lines for u in units(line)]      # your lyrics
+hyp = [w[0] for w in asr_words]                        # what it heard
+sm = difflib.SequenceMatcher(a=ref, b=hyp, autojunk=False)
+
+for tag, i1, i2, j1, j2 in sm.get_opcodes():
+    if tag != "equal":
+        continue            # mismatches are just gaps, not errors
+    for k in range(i2 - i1):
+        matched[ref_index[i1 + k]] = asr_words[j1 + k][1:]   # (start, end)
+```
+
+Each lyric line then takes the timestamp of its **first matched unit**. This
+is robust in a way transcription is not: 60–70% word accuracy is plenty,
+because every correctly-placed word pins the line it belongs to.
+
+Measured coverage on this batch — the share of lines that got at least one
+real anchor:
+
+| Language | Unit | Mean anchor coverage | Lines fully anchored |
+|---|---|---:|---|
+| English | word | **0.96** | 9/18 songs |
+| Mandarin | character | 0.70 | 11/11 songs |
+
+English aligns better for a boring reason: words are delimited by spaces, so
+each ASR token maps cleanly onto one lyric token. Mandarin needs each
+character spread across the token's time span:
+
+```python
+span = w.end - w.start
+for i, ch in enumerate(hanzi_in_word):
+    chars.append((ch, w.start + span * i / n, w.start + span * (i + 1) / n))
+```
+
+## The governor: three rules that stop nonsense timings
+
+Anchors get you most of the way. Left alone, the gaps between them produce
+timings that are physically impossible, and two of those bit me for real:
+
+**Failure A — a line at 0.0 s.** One song's first lyric landed at exactly
+zero, before the intro had even finished, because the anchor search matched
+a stray word in the opening shout.
+
+**Failure B — four lines in 0.6 s.** A song whose outro the recogniser missed
+entirely had its remaining lines compressed to 0.18 s apart. Twelve
+characters cannot be sung in 0.18 s.
+
+So after alignment, run three rules:
+
+1. **Estimate the song's own rate** from neighbouring anchored pairs
+   (units ÷ seconds, take the median). Every line's expected duration is
+   `units / rate`, floored at ~1.8 s. Rates across one batch ranged from
+   0.96 to 2.33 words/s in English, and 2.3 to 4.1 characters/s in Mandarin —
+   you cannot use a global constant.
+2. **Refill unanchored runs proportionally**, not with a fixed spacing. If a
+   run sits between two anchors, distribute it by expected duration; if there
+   is not enough room, compress proportionally.
+3. **Reject impossible anchors and enforce a minimum gap.** An anchor whose
+   start is earlier than `5 s + everything before it could possibly take` is
+   a false match — demote it and re-interpolate. Then sweep forward so no two
+   lines start less than 1.2 s apart, and pull back from the end if the tail
+   overruns the audio.
+
+That last sweep is what turns "looks plausible" into "cannot flicker".
+
+## Emitting both formats
+
+Same timing array, two writers:
+
+```python
+def lrc(ts, lines):                      # [mm:ss.xx]
+    return "\n".join(f"[{m:02d}:{s:05.2f}]{l}" for (m, s), l in zip(ts, lines))
+
+def srt(spans, lines):                   # hh:mm:ss,mmm
+    out = []
+    for i, (line, (a, b)) in enumerate(zip(lines, spans), 1):
+        out.append(f"{i}\n{stamp(a)} --> {stamp(b)}\n{line}\n")
+    return "\n".join(out)
+```
+
+LRC needs only the start; SRT needs start **and** end, so use the *next*
+line's start as the current line's end (this is why the governor's minimum gap
+matters — without it, SRT blocks get zero duration and some players skip
+them entirely).
+
+## Verification: the part I got wrong twice
+
+The subtitles were correct long before the display was. Two bugs, both in the
+20-line player script, both invisible to a code read:
+
+**Bug 1 — the box started at the bottom.** To find the current line I wrote
+`lines.findIndex(l => l.t > now) - 1`. Before the first line, `findIndex`
+returns `0`, so `i` became `-1`, and the guard `if (i < 0) i = lines.length - 1`
+turned "nothing yet" into "the last line". Playback opened scrolled to the
+outro.
+
+**Bug 2 — it then scrolled to the bottom on the first chord.** Fixing bug 1, I
+centred the active line with `p.offsetTop`. `offsetTop` is measured from the
+nearest **positioned** ancestor — and the lyric box had no `position: relative`,
+so it returned the line's distance from the top of the *page*, thousands of
+pixels. `scrollTop` clamped to `maxScroll`: straight to the bottom.
+
+The correct form does not care about positioning contexts:
+
+```js
+const br = box.getBoundingClientRect(), pr = p.getBoundingClientRect();
+box.scrollTop += (pr.top - br.top) - (box.clientHeight - pr.height) / 2;
+```
+
+And the lesson about *testing* matters more than the fix. I verified the index
+logic in Node — it passed. I looked at a screenshot — I misread which line was
+highlighted. Neither could see a layout bug. What worked was a numeric probe
+in headless Chrome: stub `currentTime`, dispatch `timeupdate`, then read the
+real DOM back out.
+
+```bash
+chrome --headless=new --dump-dom --virtual-time-budget=8000 \
+       --window-size=760,520 "file:///probe.html"
+```
+
+```js
+Object.defineProperty(a, 'currentTime', { get: () => 100, configurable: true });
+a.dispatchEvent(new Event('timeupdate'));
+// then report: active line index, its offset inside the box, scrollTop, maxScroll
+```
+
+The pass condition is a number, not an opinion: the active line's offset
+inside the box should be about half the box height (I got 124 px in a 274 px
+box), `scrollTop = 0` with nothing highlighted at t = 0, and `scrollTop =
+maxScroll` only for the final lines.
+
+## Results
+
+Eighteen songs, none of which shipped a timestamp. Every one now has line-level
+LRC and SRT, generated from lyrics plus audio alone.
+
+| | |
+|---|---:|
+| Songs | 18 |
+| Subtitle lines | 342 |
+| Mean anchor coverage | 0.96 |
+| Songs with every line anchored | 9 / 18 (every line got a time) |
+| Processing time | 63–90 s per song, CPU only |
+| GPU used | none |
+
+Each player below scrolls its lyrics, keeps the current line centred, and has
+a **.srt download** next to it if you want to burn the subtitles into a video
+or open them in VLC.

+description: "AI 音乐工具只给你音频 —— 没有逐行时间，没有卡拉 OK。这是我给 18 首歌生成 LRC 与 SRT 字幕的完整流程，为什么单纯转写不行，以及让歌词框滚到底的两个 bug。"

+draft: false
+---
+我试过的每一个 AI 音乐工具，交出来的东西形状都一样：一个音频文件。没有一个会告诉你**每一句是什么时候唱的**。只想听的话没问题，但只要你想把歌词放到屏幕上 —— 卡拉 OK 的那一行、视频字幕、播放器下面的滚动框 —— 就完全不够用。
+
+时间轴才是全部难点。音频反而是简单的部分。
+
+这是我最后跑通的一套流程，用在本地生成的 18 首英文歌上，外加它在浏览器里崩掉的两个地方。下面全部可复现：它唯一需要你提供的东西，是**你已经写好的歌词**。
+
+## 你真正需要的两样东西
+
+两种字幕格式，共用同一份数据结构：
+
+| 格式 | 用在哪 | 长什么样 |
+|---|---|---|
+| **LRC** | 音乐播放器、卡拉 OK 块、`<audio>` 歌词层 | `[mm:ss.xx]歌词行` |
+| **SRT** | VLC、YouTube、Premiere、ffmpeg 烧字 | 序号 / `hh:mm:ss,mmm --> hh:mm:ss,mmm` / 文本 |
+
+两者本质都是「**行 → 起始时间**」（SRT 多一个结束时间）。所以真正的任务是：
+**给定一串歌词行和一个音频文件，找出每一行从哪儿开始。**
+
+## 为什么「直接转写」行不通
+
+最直觉的做法：跑一次语音识别，把它的分段结果写出去。它会因为两个原因失败。
+
+**1. 唱腔的识别率远低于说话。** 模型要同时对付乐器、混响和拉长的元音。我这一批里，中文唱词的词错率大约 25–35%，电子混音密集的更差。
+
+**2. 它会整段丢掉。** 有一首 140 BPM 的燃曲，整段第一段主歌压根没出现在转写结果里 —— 人声被埋住了，模型直接跳过去。另外两首丢了尾奏。
+
+有洞的转写，变不出没洞的字幕。但换个框法就全通了：
+
+> 你不是在**转写**，你是在**对齐**。你早就知道确切的字 —— 那就是你的歌词。音频只是用来提供**锚点**。
+
+## 让它成立的思路反转
+
+让识别器给出词级时间戳，然后拿它的输出跟你已知的歌词做最长公共子序列 diff。你根本不在乎它有没有听对 —— 你在乎的是它听出来的那些词**顺序对不对**，因为每一个匹配都是一个时间锚点。
+
+```python
+import difflib
+
+ref = [u for line in lines for u in units(line)]      # 你的歌词
+hyp = [w[0] for w in asr_words]                        # 它听到的
+sm = difflib.SequenceMatcher(a=ref, b=hyp, autojunk=False)
+
+for tag, i1, i2, j1, j2 in sm.get_opcodes():
+    if tag != "equal":
+        continue            # 不匹配的地方只是空洞，不是错误
+    for k in range(i2 - i1):
+        matched[ref_index[i1 + k]] = asr_words[j1 + k][1:]   # (起, 止)
+```
+
+然后每一行歌词取它**第一个匹配单位**的时间戳。这种做法的稳健性是转写给不了的：60–70% 的词准确率就完全够用，因为每一个位置正确的词都钉住了它所属的那一行。
+
+这批实测的锚定覆盖率 —— 也就是「拿到了至少一个真实锚点」的行占比：
+
+| 语言 | 单位 | 平均锚定覆盖率 | 全行锚定的歌 |
+|---|---|---:|---|
+| 英文 | 词 | **0.96** | 9/18 首 |
+| 中文 | 字 | 0.70 | 11/11 首 |
+
+英文对齐更好，原因很无聊：词之间用空格隔开，所以每个 ASR token 能干净地对应一个歌词 token。中文则必须把每个字平摊到 token 的时间跨度上：
+
+```python
+span = w.end - w.start
+for i, ch in enumerate(hanzi_in_word):
+    chars.append((ch, w.start + span * i / n, w.start + span * (i + 1) / n))
+```
+
+## 修正器：三条规则，挡住荒唐的时间
+
+锚点能带你走完大半程。但如果放着不管，锚点之间的空隙会产出物理上不可能的时间 —— 其中两个是真的咬到我了：
+
+**故障 A —— 一行落在 0.0 秒。** 有一首歌的第一句歌词正好落在零点，前奏都还没结束，因为锚点搜索在开头的喊麦里匹配到了一个零散的字。
+
+**故障 B —— 四行挤在 0.6 秒里。** 有一首歌的尾奏被识别器整段漏掉，剩下的行被压到相隔 0.18 秒。12 个字不可能在 0.18 秒里唱完。
+
+所以对齐之后，跑三条规则：
+
+1. **估计这首歌自己的速率** —— 用相邻两行都已锚定的样本（单位数 ÷ 秒数，取中位数）。每行的期望时长 = `单位数 ÷ 速率`，下限约 1.8 秒。同一批里英文是 0.96 到 2.33 词/秒，中文是 2.3 到 4.1 字/秒，**不能用全局常数**。
+2. **按比例填充没锚定的段**，而不是固定行距。一段夹在两个锚点之间，就按期望时长分摊；空间不够就等比压缩。
+3. **剔除不可能的锚点 + 强制最小行距。** 起始时间早于「5 秒 + 它前面所有内容可能占用的时间」的锚点一定是假匹配 —— 降级重算。然后正向扫一遍，保证任意两行起始间隔不小于 1.2 秒；若尾部被推出音频，再从末尾倒推收回。
+
+最后那趟扫描，才是把「看起来合理」变成「不可能闪烁」的关键。
+
+## 同时输出两种格式
+
+同一份时间数组，两个写出函数：
+
+```python
+def lrc(ts, lines):                      # [mm:ss.xx]
+    return "\n".join(f"[{m:02d}:{s:05.2f}]{l}" for (m, s), l in zip(ts, lines))
+
+def srt(spans, lines):                   # hh:mm:ss,mmm
+    out = []
+    for i, (line, (a, b)) in enumerate(zip(lines, spans), 1):
+        out.append(f"{i}\n{stamp(a)} --> {stamp(b)}\n{line}\n")
+    return "\n".join(out)
+```
+
+LRC 只要起点；SRT 要起点**和**终点，所以用**下一行**的起点当作当前行的结束（这正是最小行距规则重要的原因 —— 没有它，SRT 块会变成零时长，有些播放器会整块跳过）。
+
+## 验证：我错了两次的地方
+
+字幕早在显示之前就是对的。两个 bug 都在那 20 行播放器脚本里，而且都是**读代码看不出来**的。
+
+**Bug 1 —— 一开播就在末尾。** 找当前行我写的是 `lines.findIndex(l => l.t > now) - 1`。第一句之前 `findIndex` 返回 `0`，于是 `i` 变成 `-1`，而那句 `if (i < 0) i = lines.length - 1` 把「还没开始」翻译成了「最后一行」。播放器一打开就停在尾奏。
+
+**Bug 2 —— 然后第一个和弦就滚到底。** 修完 bug 1，我用 `p.offsetTop` 来做居中。`offsetTop` 是相对**最近的定位祖先**量的 —— 而歌词框没有 `position: relative`，所以它返回的是这一行到**页面顶部**的距离，上千像素。`scrollTop` 被夹到 `maxScroll`：直接到底，字全看不见。
+
+正确写法根本不关心定位上下文：
+
+```js
+const br = box.getBoundingClientRect(), pr = p.getBoundingClientRect();
+box.scrollTop += (pr.top - br.top) - (box.clientHeight - pr.height) / 2;
+```
+
+**关于「怎么测」的教训比修复本身更重要。** 我在 Node 里单测过索引逻辑 —— 通过了。我看过截图 —— 我把高亮的那一行看错了。两者都看不见布局 bug。真正有效的是在 headless Chrome 里打数值探针：stub 掉 `currentTime`，派发 `timeupdate`，然后把真实 DOM 读回来。
+
+```bash
+chrome --headless=new --dump-dom --virtual-time-budget=8000 \
+       --window-size=760,520 "file:///probe.html"
+```
+
+```js
+Object.defineProperty(a, 'currentTime', { get: () => 100, configurable: true });
+a.dispatchEvent(new Event('timeupdate'));
+// 然后输出：当前行索引、它在框内的偏移、scrollTop、maxScroll
+```
+
+通过条件是**数字**，不是观点：当前行在框内的偏移应当约为框高的一半（我得到的 274 px 框里是 124 px）；t = 0 时 `scrollTop = 0` 且没有任何行高亮；只有最后几句时 `scrollTop = maxScroll`。
+
+## 结果
+
+18 首歌，没有一首自带时间戳。现在每一首都有逐行的 LRC 和 SRT —— 只靠歌词加音频生成。
+
+| | |
+|---|---:|
+| 歌曲 | 18 |
+| 字幕行数 | 342 |
+| 平均锚定覆盖率 | 0.96 |
+| 全行锚定的歌 | 9 / 18（每行都有时间） |
+| 处理耗时 | 每首 63–90 秒，纯 CPU |
+| 占用显卡 | 无 |
+
+下面每个播放器都会滚动歌词、把当前句保持在中间，旁边还有 **.srt 下载** —— 想烧字进视频或在 VLC 里打开都行。
