Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • Kaveo proposes names, terms and speakers you did not describe, even when the subtitle names nobody; subtitles in other languages inside the video help it tell a man from a woman.
  • The next episodes in the same folder reuse your names, speakers and style, add the ones each episode introduces without changing yours, and reuse a line you corrected wherever it returns. New lines can still need fixing.
  • Lines that do not fit can be fixed on the translation’s All lines… page: Break the row and Give time change no word.
