Before it gets suggested, I do not want an OCR solution. I find it far more efficient and less initially frustrating to manually re-enter the text.
I used AVISubDetector to create a series of images + SRT target file. Now, I can manually go through with Notepad and say, the Windows Fax Viewer, to type in the lines from the images and correct the display times, but I need an easier way because it's awfully arduous having to click back and forth all the time.
And since I have Aegisub, I looked into what I could do with it. And I can manage to kind of do this by loading all the images with AviSynth, then using AssumeFPS to reduce the framerate to 0.1 fps, so that using Aegisub's Video display will allow me to track through nearly one frame at a time and type in the proper text without having to click all over the place. Problem is, I can't do this with the actual timecodes script due to the timecodes throwing Aegisub off, and this requires me to copy and paste from the transcribed file to the intended one after-the-fact.
When I do attempt to load the original SRT, I at least get the original times, but without trying to figure out some kind of image loading voodoo in AviSynth so that the images display at the exact same times they did in the video I ripped them from, then it becomes hit or miss when using the Video display.
(If there is an AviSynth plugin that can load an SRT's linked images while maintaining the display according to the timecode, I'd be very interesting in hearing about it.)
So, in short, is there any subtitle editing program that can load an SRT, display its linked images while tracking from line to line, and edit the text manually, doing all this in a similar way to how Aegisub's Video display works when tracking through subtitle scripts? If Aegisub itself can do this and I'm not aware of it then could someone point me to a tutorial on that because I couldn't seem to see anything like that when I was looking at the help.
Thanks in advance.
