Does anyone use OCR to convert BluRay subtitles (.sup) to plaintext .srt files? I've used tools like SupRip and BDSup2Sub, but they've all required pretty significant cleanup afterwards. 'l', '1', and 'I' especially get mixed up a lot


Assuming all these subtitles (at least per movie) are in the same font, isn’t it enough to tell/correct it once that “this is an I” and “this is a 1”, and then it knows for the entire .sup?


That's what I figured, but in practice I wasn't able to do that without having to manually enter most subtitles. The tools are relatively old, so I was hoping something newer had figured it out


Wouldn't it be easier to just find it on www.opensubtitles.org?
