Sub-optimal presentation of auto-transcribed subtitles

[polsola]

Hello, thanks for this great work, Tero Subtitler has become one of our most used tools, it's great

I've just noticed a bug, but only on certain videos. When Tero Subtitler would transcribe audio in a video correctly but will generate really long span subtitles, I mean like 20 seconds of text on the same subtitle span

The weird thing is we have a series of videos with the same voice and format, in some cases this happens, and in some others not, I've checked and all have same resolution, FPS, etc

All the videos start with like 5-8 seconds of silence, I don't know if that would affect the result

I've checked, and the settings for subtitle duration is the default at 7000ms

Hola, thank you for your words.

I think you are using macOS, you can try the testbuild "https://github.com/URUWorks/additional-files/raw/main/terosubtitler_testbuild_macOS64.zip" where you can choose the maximum of the line.

Another alternative is to use the function to divide, from the "Edit/Entries/Divide entry" menu.
I hope it helps you.

Thanks!
The option to set a maximum of line is great, It would be awesome if it would avoid cutting words, but that's a great fix for now

I think a superior algorithm is needed (to match other tools/services — some of which might not be quite there either, incidentally — including EZTitles and Happy Scribe) to account for the following (possibly more):

• Linguistic units [not splitting them]
• Maximum display time [not exceeding seven seconds]
• Characters per line (CPL) count [not exceeding 42]
• Characters per second (CPS) count [not exceeding 20]
• Shot changes [assuming there is a list imported]
• Gapping [two frames between entries]

It could be that some breaches are inevitable and will require user intervention after processing, but some simple improvements would be desirable.
