Does this work with ASS, SRT, VTT etc? Can I configure how many characters per line, font, colour, timing? I don't expect much out of the translations but is it at least 80% accurate? Thanks!! I'm currently using Happy Scribe free subtitle editor? You guys should try it!!

The previous version worked very well, but for me the new one ... makes life harder. There may be a lack of instructions in Greek (although they are Greek developers) to have difficulty in synchronization operations. At some point they have to understand that we do not all have the same self-evident. I give 4 stars for the previous version.

not bad at all. opens lots of different formats, easy to resynch a subtitle, and pretty straightforward... Translation is not working though, it erases the subtitle. which is why im giving it 4 stars instead of five.

The app is ok, although the developers should really learn from the now discontinued Miyu. I still can't figure how to make line breaks, and looks impossible to sort the timings (both start and end). The app needs hotkeys customizations and is missing way too much features (the choice of text encodings, and many others!!)

I decided to dabble in putting subtitles in various downloads mostly because of the aging eyesight of various family members. I tried for a week with various subtitle editors and re-synch apps to VERY little avail. I was able to complete one movie only because it was 90% synced already. Then I discovered this app and within an hour I had successfully synched three movies beautifully. Yes - - the buttons are not quite what their own demo video shows but their FAQ's page does correctly show what the buttons do and do not do - - so I was able to get a better handle on the app itself. I have yet to attempt to put in my own subtitles. I am finding out that the downloaded srt files are often *quite* different than the actual audio - - mostly leaving out minor phrases or a few words in the specific statement. Most srt files are *very* close - - or close enough. Anyway - - this app works nicely. I heartily recommend it. I have had no stability issues whatsoever.
