Hi all
Sometimes, speakers on the left and right speak simultaneously. I thought of using the tab key to make the lines go left and right. However, my player insists on centering everything, regardless of tabs or spaces inserted.
Has anyone used spacing like this? How?
Thanks.

Using tab to separate speakers?

You can try to use:

But I doubt it will work with SRT. Again: ASS is your friend. :)

ASS is for advanced people. I'm still in the novice class.

With SRT or VTT, most players will replace the TAB by single SPACE. They do it because they have to manage the display width.
I haven't tested it, but VTT may accept "non-breaking spaces":
Else, from my tests, the easiest way is to use simple spaces. But the line can't start with a space, so you have to use a character, like a dot.
Keep in mind the the space doesn't have a fixed width. It depends on your font. So it may be difficult to get perfect column.
This is the best you can do with SRT.
