Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a ton of subtitle files, a lot of them from YouTube itself, and I thought it'd be a lot more time and power conserving to load those in, skipping the WhisperAi transcription part, and going straight to the other features tldw offers.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a youtube link (or other supported source), select a checkbox to 'get subtitle (.srt.sub)' OR upload an SRT/Sub/other yt-dlp supported subtitle formats. process as usual with tldw

Describe alternatives you've considered
Attempting to do this by myself via bash and a combo of yt-dlp to extract subtitles and then run it through another tool like llama.cpp or something (I've only done it up to extracting subtitles and did not know much about AI on local machines, which got me searching and that's how I found this tool)

FYI, ‘.srt’ files are plaintext. You can change the file name to ‘.txt’ and they’ll upload just fine
