DownloadThe main purpose of this program is to provide functionality for extract hardcoded subtitles (hardsub) from video.
It provides two main features:
1) Autodetection of frames with hardcoded text (hardsub) on video with saving info about timing positions.
2) Generation of cleared from background text images, which allows with usage of OCR programs (like FineReader, Subtitle Edit, Google Drive) to generate complete subtitles with original text and timing.
For working of this program on Windows will be required "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable runtime libraries 2022":

The idea of the program is great. The problem comes with having to try and understand the technical language in the help file. I can't understand it. I am unable to register where the developer can be contacted. I have problems with Chinese OCR. Too much of the details in characters is removed in the filtration process. I have made some changes in: min_sum_color_diff = 300 (600 in original), between_text_distace = 0.08 (0.05 in original), text_centre_percent_offset = 0.9 (0,5 in original), and have gotten slightly better results. Does anyone have other tips on how to improve the filtration process so it doesn't remove important detail? About 80% of the characters are OCRed correctly now. The new version, 2.50, is much faster than the 2.10 version I have used (some trouble with video crashes in 2.30). The older versions had trouble ocring HD files. I see there's been a 'fix" for that. Does it fix the problem with the size of the subtitles? That's what I believe the problem was. Large files with subtitles didn't get as good recognition as a resized file. I have also had trouble opening files with avisynth avs. I'll check if it works with this version.
