Subtitle Composer for Linux

Video subtitle editor that supports basic and advanced editing operations

Overview

Subtitle Composer is a subtitle editing software designed for Linux users.

It lets you create and edit subtitles for videos with both simple and advanced tools.

This app supports many subtitle formats, including text-based ones like SubRip (SRT), MicroDVD, SSA/ASS, and YouTube captions.

It also works with graphic subtitle formats such as VobSub and BluRay PGS, using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to handle image-based subtitles.

One of the key features is its built-in video player, which shows subtitles live as you edit them.

You can also view and edit subtitles alongside an audio waveform, making it easier to match text with the audio.

Subtitle Composer offers useful editing functions like speech recognition with PocketSphinx, subtitle timing synchronization, and support for scripting languages including JavaScript, Python, and Ruby through Kross.

This allows users to automate certain tasks or customize their editing workflow.

The software supports opening and saving subtitles in many formats and can join or split subtitle files.

It helps fix subtitle timing by letting you drag anchors on a timeline and adjust subtitle durations or frame rates.

Additionally, it has features for text styling such as italic, bold, underline, and color changes, as well as spell checking and error detection to improve subtitle quality.

While Subtitle Composer is powerful for Linux users, there is no information about how easy it is to use or if it works on other platforms.

It also does not mention any cloud or collaboration options.

Users looking for a flexible subtitle editor on Linux with advanced tools will find Subtitle Composer useful.
