I can't use the "Change Casing" option to quickly fix srt files with capitalization errors, because any capitalized word it finds that's not in the dictionary will get converted to all lower case.
Solution: Add "Preserve existing capitalized words" check box option for Tools -> Change casing -> Normal casing. It should still fix dictionary found words if they aren't capitalized and capitalize the first word of all sentences if they aren't capitalized, etc. So in other words, it functions the same, except any word it finds that is NOT in the dictionary and IS capitalized, it should leave as is and NOT convert it to lower case.
Then I could use this function! 😕
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Just FYI, Notepad++ has this sort of functionality in its case conversion (Edit -> Convert Case to) as two options called "blend" for Proper Case and Sentence Case.
But it won't work in .srt files because it interprets separate subtitle entries as new sentences. For example:
56
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:27,086
a lot of people were very helpful
57
00:05:31,542 --> 00:05:34,062
to us and we're, you know, grateful.
Will get converted to:
56
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:27,086
A lot of people were very helpful
57
00:05:31,542 --> 00:05:34,062
To us and we're, you know, grateful.
Instead of:
56
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:27,086
A lot of people were very helpful
57
00:05:31,542 --> 00:05:34,062
to us and we're, you know, grateful.
I've never found a working solution to automate the process of correcting this.
