App: SCC Caption Decoder
Developer: Synchrimedia
Genres: Photo & Video, Utilities

Have an SCC caption file that you need to translate into human-readable text transcripts? Need to find where that error is in your SCC captions? This closed captioning decoder is exactly what you need, and a great companion tool for MovieCaptioner. Just select your SCC file and it will save it as a new text transcript with timecode. The timecode can either stay the same as the SCC file (very useful for troubleshooting) or it can remove the buffer time that SCC files build in, making the timecode closer to the actual time the captions are displayed. You can also opt to output as paragraph text without timecode. By providing text transcripts of your movies on your Web site, you will not only be providing accessibility, but you will also improve your search engine optimization by providing searchable content.

Release notes:
New "Check Caption" capability will look for questionable captions that could cause issues with the SCC format. Great for troubleshooting any SCC file that may have issues with unsupported characters, which can be a common problem. It will list each caption along with the timecode that it thinks may be a problem. It will also allow you to save the search results as a file to compare with the text file it produces. This capability is currently only available for the Select SCC File option and not the Select Folder option.

Register SCC Caption Decoder was removed from the Mac App Store version, since it is already registered by default.

New Window is now available under the File menu if you close the main window and want to open a new one.
