Does this sync subs to the audio?

Unfortunately, not at the moment. It would be awesome If I could get that nailed. But that feels like it's a whole project of its own.

I'm exploring the idea though and doing some research on how this can be done. So it could be a feature for the future. :-)

I experimented with something related, but instead of fixing subtitles i focused on filtering out bad ones. My approach was:

* Extract a few sentences from the middle of the subtitle file.

* Extract the audio for those sentences from the video file

* Run speech-to-text and verify that at least a few of the words were the same.

It kind of worked on some shows, but not reliably..

Awesome findings! Thank you.
