How It Works

1

Upload your subtitle file (especially effective on Whisper or YouTube output).

2

Set the merge thresholds: max characters per line, pause threshold, and max merged duration.

3

The merger scans for adjacent cues with short gaps and combines them greedily.

4

Each merge only happens if the combined text fits the character limit and duration cap.

5

Download the cleaned subtitle file with natural, readable cue blocks.

Who Needs Auto-Merging?

Whisper & AI Transcription

AI transcription tools fragment speech into tiny one-word cues that flash rapidly. Merge them into natural sentences automatically.

YouTube Auto-Captions

YouTube's automatic subtitles break text into very short blocks. Combine them for a smooth reading experience before publishing.

Post-Production Editing

Before editing or translating, merge fragmented cues so you work with complete sentences instead of fragments.

Accessibility & Reading Comfort

Rapid single-word subtitles are hard to read. Merging improves comprehension for all viewers.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI transcription tools like Whisper and YouTube auto-captions generate very short cues, often one or two words each, with tiny gaps between them. This causes rapid flashing on screen and poor readability.

No. Cues separated by pauses longer than your threshold are never merged. This preserves natural breaks where the speaker actually paused.

Input: SRT, VTT, ASS, SSA, LRC, SBV, TTML, SCC, STL, SMI. Output: SRT.

It merges adjacent cues only when three conditions are met: the gap between them is shorter than your pause threshold (default 400ms), the combined text fits your character limit (default 35), and the merged duration stays under the maximum (default 5 seconds).

Only minimally. The merged cue keeps the first cue's start time and takes the last merged cue's end time. The on-screen timing stays accurate to the original speech.
