Subtitle edit - how to auto correct / replace words?

[Frosti7]

Hi,

I'd like to auto replace certain words
for example "Tim's" > "Teams"

Do i have to go to menu's and select "Replace" or there is a way to do this automatically?

You can use "replace all" to change all occurrences of some word to another

Thanks! but this would require repeated action every single time, - is there a way to have "auto correct applied" automatically?

How does the program know what you want to change ?

If Tim’s is a word you want to replace in every subtitle you come across you can Subtitle Edit’s Options > Settings > Word lists. Enter Tim’s in the left hand box at the bottom of OCR fix list and Teams in the right hand box. The word will change when you do Tools > Fix common errors, you need be sure to check the box ‘Fix common OCR errors (using OCR replace list)’ before you select the Next> button.
