Subtitle Edit 3.5.9

[FLX90]

Currently I'm using Tesseract 4.00 with engine mode Tesseract + LSTM.

Unfortunately I have to do massive post work.
'I' is sometimes a 'L' ,'l' or '!'.
Music symbol isn't recognized right (it's a P or D).
And I don't know what I have overlooked.

Is there anything I could improve in my settings?

EDIT:
I'm using binary image compare now and creating new database for every BluRay.
Works.

Hello, dear all.

I got the newest version from Subtitle Edit and try to convert a subtitle format to other.

The original subtitle is *.vtt fomat. The output is to be *.srt format.

But after the convertion the subtitle in srt show some strange errors.

Eg:

00:01:04,562 --> 00:01:08,908
{\an3}>> O que mais lhe
interessa na história?

The symbols

{\an3}

and

>>

are not correct.

Do you know how to fix that?

I can make manual correction after the convertion to srt, but I would prefer that the program could do it at the first attempt, without any "errors" or strange "symbols" after the task.

Thanks for your time.

Best regards.

Hi

If I convert from sub to srt on batch-mode (/convert) the resulting srt file contains all timeframes but only the first timeframe contains a text. If I do this with the GUI, the whole text is converted and all timeframes contains text.

What do I wrong?

Thanks

Hendi

but SE can also [B]import and ocr vobsub and blu-ray image based subtitles (even from matroska/mp4 files), and DVB sub from .ts files

Subtitle Edit (the latest) actually immediately crashes for me when I import a .sup file ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object." and many other fatal errors).

Btw, why OCR-ing?! That's so 1985!

I'm using SE to convert from bitmap Chinese/Japanese/Korean subs (sup, idx/sub, DVDsub).
There is a possibility to save one sub picture at a time (with right click) while importing , but could you add a function of saving all the sub pictures during OCR?

For example, just a new option in the "export" (during OCR): export all the pictures as *.png? (just the images, no xml because it would be more complicated with "dirty" idx/subs (i.e with errors).)

It's because after finishing the OCR and saving the OCRed srt, I have to correct the (many) mistakes "offline" , but there is no way to compare the OCRed text to the original pictures.

Thanks for your great work!

@dngnt: In the OCR window you can right click in the list view... and choose "Save all images with HTML index..." or "Export -> BDN xml/png"

@ Nikse555

Thanks for the update, much appreciated!
Looking in the portable folders I see Tesseract302.
Is that version also included in SubtitleEdit-3.5.9-Setup.exe?

Kind regards

[Nikse555]

@varekai: Yes, Tesseract302 is included in the installer version as well.
Tesseract 4 is available as an in-program download, but note that T4 does not support italic detection and is a lot slower, but T4 is available in more languages and may work better for small unclear fonts.

@ Nikse555

Great! I use italics and only swedish and english languages so Tesseract302 works perfectly for my needs! Thanks!

Thanks for your indications!
Subtitle Edit is the best for its import/export versatility for srt, and with these 2 export abilities for sup,idx/sub and DVDsub, it's truly the Swiss knife for subtitling!
