aws-transcription-to-vtt

Takes the JSON from Amazon AWS Transcribe and outputs a VTT file.

I couldn't find a module satisfying all of these criteria:

• has documentation
• has tests
• works in both commonjs (node) and es modules (import)
• has minimal dependencies
• is tiny (< 150 lines of code)

so here we are.
