subtitleedit VS fsearch

A free program SubtitleEdit allows you to change the timing of a subtitle in a number of ways. It also allows you to view the video and an audio waveform so you can see precisely any offset. https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases

Or you can edit your SRT file using an app similar to this https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases

I recently found a freeware program called Subtitle Edit that uses optical character recognition to convert subtitles to SRT format (and it can even run on Linux with the Mono runtime). However, I've found that it sometimes adds spaces within words (and with some subtitles that happens fairly often). So I'm wondering if there may be anything better that can accurately convert subtitles to SRT format?

Hey, sorry for no answering sooner. I feel I should create a proper guide for this, but in short I use Whisper (from the creators of ChatGPT https://github.com/openai/whisper). Recently, SubtitleEdit (similar to Aegisubs, better in my opinion) added this function to the program (https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases); you just add a video or audio, go to Video>Audio to Text (Whisper) and it does the job. It can do straight to Korean or do some AI translation too.

You can also use SE for making new subtitles from scratch (do use the time-line/waveform/spectrogram) or translating subtitles. Subtitle Edit

You can do this in Subtitle Edit. Add the subtitle then go to Synchronization > Adjust all times > enter the time of the previous part(s) and click show later. After you have done this for files 2 through 4 you go to Tools > Join subtitles. The resulting file should have the correct time codes and, depending on the file type, numbering.

Hi, author here.

Likely the most significant benefit is the more powerful query language. For example you can also search by file modification date or size and use boolean operators. https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/wiki/Search-syntax

Yes, FSearch is the one I use, but it's not as great, per FSearch's dev:

> However, FSearch doesn't automatically detect changes made to the file system and update its index then. This is on the roadmap (it's called inotify support) but it'll never work as smooth as Everything on Windows, because the Linux kernel isn't particularly good at reporting filesystem changes

Everything is comprehensive + instant + always up-to-date, that's so awesome a combo it's a pity it's Windows only

If you are new and wish a simple way to search, fsearch is a very nice tool.... https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

One other program I've been particularly enjoying recently is fsearch : https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

If you don't need content indexing, Fsearch is an alternative. I've been using it for over a year now and it's been working flawlessly. Results are near instant and the db is in single digit megabytes.

But AFAIK nothing seems to use this, def not fsearch, they have an open issue - https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26

Still remember those days of arguing on /g/ where linux longbeards stallman fanboys tried to say how this or that tool was good search... but I dont want to just find something, I want to use it that second, and I want the entire system indexed... after getting some webms to showcase that instant feel it got the message across, though later someone appeared with some dmenu trickery being similarly fast and useful... anyway Fsearch that appeared soon after me is the real deal.
