I'd rather have close captioning than nothing at all.

There's many Amazon Prime movies I've quit because of a sentence I could not hear very well and they didn't come with close captioning. I hate that so much these days.

My pirate setup at least comes with auto-synced subs for everything I watch.

How do you auto sync the subtitles?
Is there a way to merge two sub files?
Yeah there's tools that can do it, it's really not too difficult technically because the subtitle format that's most popular is crazy simple.

I've used https://subtitletools.com/merge-subtitles-online before. There's command-line ones, but I can't remember which I've used.

Thanks!
