Sinhala movies, short films and features, transcribed properly
Sinhala (සිංහල): Sinhala-script output in standard orthography. Treat output as a fast first draft; Tamil and English switches deserve review.
Movie & film subtitless in particular: Dialogue in the film's own language becomes a timestamped SRT/VTT ready for festival submissions, distributor deliverables and accessibility passes. Note: subtitles come out in the language spoken on screen — this is transcription, not translation. A festival-ready SRT of the film's dialogue, a VTT for web players, and searchable dialogue for the edit — then shift or renumber cues in the free browser subtitle toolkit.
