# Caption options

These controls group the transcribed words into caption segments. Re-grouping is local and does not use transcription minutes.

## Characters per caption

Sets how much text appears together. The lowest slider position selects **One word** per caption.

Words are kept intact. A word longer than the character limit can exceed it. Pauses and sentence settings can also produce shorter captions.

## Characters per line

Set this above zero to wrap captions at spaces. **Off** leaves automatic line splitting disabled. An unusually long word can exceed this limit.

The transcript marks each planned break with a faint vertical bar. A **Max line count** readout shows the largest number of lines among the current captions. It is a display counter, not a limit control.

## Sentence boundaries

**Force split sentences** starts a new caption at sentence boundaries. With it enabled, **Split sentences at diacritics** also splits at the additional punctuation shown by that control.

## Remove punctuation

Removes the characters listed under **Characters to remove** in Settings. The source transcript remains available for re-grouping.

## Re-grouping edited captions

Compatible wording edits and manual emphasis are carried forward when captions are rebuilt. An edit with a different word count cannot always be matched back to the original word timings and may return to the source wording.

Re-grouping runs without a separate re-cut confirmation. Export a transcript before substantial changes, then review the result. If the captions are already styled, applying the style again rebuilds them directly.
