Cuewright — Support

A subtitle editor: open an SRT, VTT, LRC or SMI file, attach the video or audio it belongs to, and fix the lines against a waveform.

Requirements

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. macOS 15 for Apple's own on-device translation. Speech models download on first use and are not bundled.

Questions people ask

The media beside my subtitle did not attach.

It attaches when it has the same name as the subtitle — movie.mp4 for movie.srt, and movie.ja.srt counts too. Anything else: File › Attach Media. That link is remembered for the document.

Where is Save As?

macOS gives ⇧⌘S to Duplicate in apps that keep versions. Save As is ⌥⇧⌘S, and appears in the File menu when you hold ⌥.

Speech recognition seems stuck.

The first run downloads the model you picked — from 75 MB to 1.6 GB. The sheet shows a progress bar while it arrives, then compiles it for your Mac, which takes about a minute the first time. Make Cues › Split by Silence needs no model at all.

Which translators can I use?

Apple's on-device translation (macOS 15+, no key), or Claude, Gemini and any OpenAI-compatible server with your own key — including a local one like Ollama or LM Studio. Keys are kept in the Keychain and used only for the request you ask for.

Two anchors — what do I put in?

Select a line near the start, take its subtitle time with [Cue start], play until you hear that line and stop, then take [Use ▶]. Do the same for a line near the end. The further apart the two, the truer the correction.

Can it edit the subtitle inside a video file?

No. Cuewright edits subtitle files; it does not write into media.

Reporting a problem

Email cuewright@haeonix.com with the app version from its About window, what you expected, and what happened instead. A file that reproduces it helps more than anything else.
