> Hi Everyone, I am looking for insights on whether it's possible to create transcripts from timed text files. I have good, individually reviewed closed caption files.

I would imagine that with a find and replace option and some regular expressions this process could be semi-automated quickly. Combine that with some sort of script such as Perl and it really could be automated. I haven't looked to see if something like that already exists but someone should be able to create it pretty quickly.
