Frequently Asked Questions
A subtitle diff compares two subtitle files and highlights every difference: lines that were added, removed, or modified. It works like a code diff but for subtitle text and timing.
Tolerance (in milliseconds) controls how close two cues' timecodes must be for them to be considered the same line. A higher tolerance matches more aggressively across versions with timing shifts.
Yes, completely free with no registration, no watermarks, and no file uploads.
The score is based on the ratio of identical cues to total cues after alignment. Modified lines reduce the score proportionally to how many words changed within each cue.
