WHAT WE CHECKED

First-party automated sample run

The scope of this guide

Checked

What the check covers

Ran the shipped CueKeeper 1.0.0 valid.srt example with Python 3.13.9. The command exited 0, emitted two cues, and wrote a timed transcript, dialogue copy, report, and batch summary. The examples below are taken from those files.

Read the documented steps
  • Verified the shipped ZIP SHA-256.
  • Ran the exact command shown below in an isolated directory.
  • Compared the generated files with the published sample artifacts.

What it does not establish

Synthetic subtitles only. This does not test media accuracy, time savings, customer use, payment settlement, or sales. The successful sample does not cover malformed or non-English input.

Ownership and preparation: We own and sell the tool described here. This article was prepared with AI assistance from a first-party automated run of the shipped fictional example on November 12, 2026. It is a commercial introduction, not an independent review or a customer result.

A reading copy and a source reference are different things. Here is what CueKeeper produces from two fictional subtitle cues, so you can judge the format before spending $1.00 USD.

Start with these two cues

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,250
Welcome to CueKeeper.
Every timestamp stays attached.

2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,000
Ready for analysis.

The first cue has two lines. The example contains no audio, real speaker, or customer data. You can paste it into the free browser preview, which accepts up to 20 cues and processes the excerpt locally in your browser.

The timed Markdown preserves the intervals

[00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.250] Welcome to CueKeeper\. Every timestamp stays attached\.

[00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:06.000] Ready for analysis\.

This is the raw valid.md output. The backslashes escape punctuation for Markdown. The two dialogue lines in the first cue become one line, while both endpoint timestamps stay attached. Keep the original subtitle file alongside this reading copy.

The dialogue-only copy deliberately drops the times

Welcome to CueKeeper. Every timestamp stays attached.

Ready for analysis.

valid.dialogue.txt is convenient for reading or searching, but it cannot by itself tell you where a sentence occurred. Use the timed file when a reviewer needs to locate the passage in the original recording.

The report says what the conversion did

{"status":"COMPLETE","detected_format":"srt","parsed_cue_count":2,"emitted_cue_count":2,"errors":[],"warnings":[]}

This is a selected-field excerpt from the full generated JSON report. Two parsed cues became two emitted cues without reported issues in this sample. That does not prove the supplied text matches a recording, identify speakers, or certify a transcript.

Run the same example locally

The paid toolkit requires Python 3.10+ and no third-party packages. After extracting it, run this from the directory containing app.py:

python3 app.py convert samples/valid.srt -o output --dialogue-only

Use your installed Python launcher after checking its version. Our run used Python 3.13.9. Browse all four generated files and the input, or read the first-run walkthrough.

Try the format, then choose the toolkit

Try the free excerpt preview. For local file and batch conversion, buy CueKeeper for $1.00 USD with PayPal; the product page also offers 1.00 USDC on Base. The ZIP is released after verified payment. CueKeeper converts existing subtitles; it does not transcribe audio or translate dialogue.

THE USEFUL PARTS

What works for this scope

  • The timed export keeps both start and end times.
  • A separate dialogue-only copy serves a different reading task.
  • The report exposes cue counts, warnings, and errors.

THE TRADE-OFFS

What to keep in mind

  • A clean conversion report does not establish caption accuracy.
  • This two-cue example does not cover every subtitle format or edge case.

START WITH THE FIT

Is this the right starting point?

A possible fit if you…

  • Creators and researchers who already have subtitle files and want to inspect the export format.

Look elsewhere if you…

  • Anyone who needs speech-to-text, translation, or verified speaker identification.

THE VERDICT

The practical takeaway.

Keep the timed copy for traceability and the dialogue-only copy for reading. This sample makes the output format inspectable; your source captions still need review.
