Recent reviews
I NEVER write reviews. Never! This is my 1st and only for an add-on. And long overdue! I very much like and appreciate this Auto-Subtitle add-on. Thank you Much! - Sometimes the official subs are available, great. But even the imperfect auto-generated ones are 95% accurate. Sincerest thank you to the maker. (Opening the generated srt file in a text reader like Notepad, one can see the words, copy paste, etc). Thank you thank you thank you!
