New in Transcript Annotations Cleaner 1.5.0.2 (Sep 6, 2010)
- TAC can now AUTO-UPDATE itself:
- If everything works, it will display a small loading circle in status bar and when finished downloading the new version, you'll get a message asking you if you want to restart after the update.
- The settings will be preserved between versions. (They will be stored in: "...\MyDocuments\Transcript Annotations
- Cleaner" )
- Now, if the target encoding charset is NOT "ANSI", the musical notes "?" will be preserved. (And not replaced with "*") (The charset can be changed in Advanced Options
- or using the context menu).

New in Transcript Annotations Cleaner 1.4.0.0 (Aug 2, 2010)
- New Features:
- If "." or "," is used as cut point in the line, now looks if it's not a number.
- Now, it won't cut a line in a "." if it's part of an acronym
- TAC is now able to read from a txt transcript file. It will create a srt line for each text block separated by a blank line. [The timecodes will be set looking at the text length]
- Two new features regarding the automatic subtitle lines length increment in the Smart Join/Split option:
- It will increase the max until the length reach the specified % over the original maximum characters per line.
- It will increase the length of the lines to force the number of lines set in
- the option.
- Fixed / Improved:
- Fixed some looong lasting errors with multiple srt tags in the same line.
- The Smart Join/Split text splited a word when there was multiple tags in the line. (not always, just in some cases)
- Also, before when the text between tags was removed, and there was more text in that line, the empty tag wasn't removed.
- Now, the TAC will also clean unnecessary srt tags (only if they are in the same text line)
- Now TAC never will leave the initial " of a quote separated from the quoted text.
- As justt requested, now TAC will tolerate one space before the name in the "Erase NAME:" option.
- Now, if after an acronym there is a comma, it will use the comma as a cut point instead of the last dot in the acronym.
- The dialogue detection has been improved.
- Now TAC will replace for "-" the "NAME:" when the text is in the next line.
New in Transcript Annotations Cleaner 1.3.0.0 (Feb 22, 2010)
- New Features:
- It will fix all broken dialogues after deleting annotations.
- Example:
- "- ( tires screech )"
- "- whoa whoa."
- becomes:
- "whoa whoa."
- Now, the "Fix Names" option, also check the length of the name,
- Example: if the name to fix is "Jo", no more converting jones in Jones.
- Only will do it if the name is just "jo" ( "jo" becomes
- "Jo").
- A small bugfix in the "Erase - at the beginning" option.
