Before you start
Review SRT or WebVTT cue durations, Unicode codepoint lengths, reading speeds and timing gaps. Supported formatting is excluded from the counts. Download the complete per-cue JSON and CSV report without changing the subtitles.
How to use this tool
- Choose an SRT or WebVTT file, or paste its text.
- Set your reading speed, line, duration, gap and overlap rules.
- Review cue IDs, codepoint counts and issue codes; download the complete reports. The table previews up to 200 cues.
Supported inputs and limits
One UTF-8 subtitle file up to 10 MiB or pasted text up to 1 MiB; up to 10,000 cues and 100,000 overlap pairs. Counts include spaces and exclude formatting and line breaks; emoji and Chinese characters count by Unicode codepoint, rather than grapheme or word.
Paired b/i/u tags, SRT font color tags and WebVTT c.class tags are supported. Common amp/lt/gt/nbsp/lrm/rlm and valid numeric entities are decoded for counting. Unknown or mismatched markup, cue settings, NOTE, STYLE and REGION are rejected. HTML is never rendered. Rules are your own thresholds, not platform certification.
Worked example
Example input
1\n00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000\n<b>Hello</b>\n\n2\n00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:02,500\n<i>合同😀</i>\n\n3\n00:00:02,550 --> 00:00:04,550\nFine\n
Example options
{"maxCps":4}Example output
3 cues; 3 cues with issues; 1 overlap pair. Visible counts are 5, 3 and 4 codepoints.
When something does not work
Correct malformed timings or use supported paired formatting, then run again. If a valid cue is flagged, adjust your delivery thresholds. No report is a promise that a player or client accepts the subtitles.
Frequently asked questions
Are formatting tags counted?
Supported tags are stripped from visible counts. For example, <b>Hello</b> counts as five codepoints. Unknown tags fail explicitly.
Does an overlap report change my subtitles?
No. It identifies overlapping cue pairs, unsorted starts and short gaps. Your original timings and text remain intact.
Is this a streaming platform validator?
No. Set the thresholds required for your delivery and check playback yourself. Counts use codepoints, including spaces.
