 # WEBVTT FILE parser for Ruby
 
+**June 2025: This is basic and essentially unmaintained code. We suggest you check out this alternate more featured and more maintained gem: [https://github.com/opencoconut/webvtt-ruby](https://github.com/opencoconut/webvtt-ruby)**

 Parse WebVTT files with Ruby.
 The main goal is just to extract the text out with start and end times.
 The parsing does not conform the [WebVTT specification](http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/) at this point.
