Tidy video caption punctuation and line breaks
Auto-captions arrive as one long punctuation-free stream that breaks in the wrong places. Tidy them into readable lines that match the rhythm of speech.
Even when an auto-caption gets every word right, it can still be hard to read: no commas to mark pauses, no periods to end thoughts, and line breaks that split a phrase across two cards. Readability, not just accuracy, is what makes subtitles work.
This tool focuses on the formatting layer of captions: it adds punctuation that reflects how you actually spoke, and rebreaks lines so each subtitle card holds a coherent chunk that fits the screen and the natural pause. The words become a script someone can comfortably read while watching.
It is the fast finishing step before you publish. Run it on your raw captions, give the result a quick read for any odd break, and you ship subtitles that look intentional instead of machine-dumped.
