A long block of transcript text will not fit on screen as subtitles, so it needs to be split into short, readable cues.
This converter breaks your text by sentence or by line and keeps each cue under a character limit, then times the cues so they are easy to read.

Good to know
Readable captions need short cues, so this tool wraps text at your character limit on word boundaries. Splitting by sentence keeps thoughts together, while splitting by line follows your existing breaks.
Frequently asked questions
How does sentence splitting work?
Text is divided at sentence endings, then long sentences are wrapped at your character limit on word boundaries.
What is a good max characters per cue?
Around forty characters per line is a common readable limit, but you can adjust it to suit your video.
Are cues timed evenly?
Yes. Each cue uses the seconds value you set, numbered in order with the SRT timestamp format.
