Re:Show HN: Automatically synchronize subtitles with video by roddds on Monday February 25, 2019 @11:20PM (#19251950)
I'm not super familiar with the specifics and I'm sure someone who's worked on this particular probably will be able to clarify, but the way I understand it there is a limit on how many characters can be displayed on the screen at any given time, as well as a minimum amount of time a subtitle should be visible on the screen. Because of this, transcribers might be forced to write down a shorter version of the line in order to make it fit.
