What does Caption line breaker do?
Wrap plain caption text into shorter lines and blocks using a chosen character limit and line count. SceneDub keeps words together where possible. The output is formatted text, not timed subtitles; this tool does not create or preserve cue timestamps.

Choose one, two, or three lines per block.
