Plint Subtitler: report tool

The Report Tool gathers all errors in a concise and easy to use view. The results are based on the live reporting which is displayed in two different ways while you work, see points 1 and 2 below. 

Configuring which errors/problems to flag is explained here.

1. Live Sub info

The live sub information window is placed just above the target language box and displays character count, reading speed and separation live while you type. These factors are checked against the client specific settings and any breach renders an error which is showed in red. It also renders a red triangle. A yellow triangle and sub means highlights a warning which is not considered a blocking error.

2. Sub errors

All of the errors in a project are also gathered in the "Error" tab in the top left corner of the editor. After clicking on the tab you can cycle through all the errors using the arrow buttons. The window below shows an explanation of the error while moving to the sub in question on the timeline at the bottom. 

3. Report Tool

Select Review/Report tool to access the "Report Tool" and summarise all errors and warnings in a single view. This will gather all errors and present them in a concise manner, grouped by error type.

The gathered information allows you to quickly go through each category. The number on the left next to the error name indicates how many errors the project contains. By clicking a sub you get an explanation of the error and the sub is highlighted in the timeline at the bottom. If you want to make changes you can edit the target box as usual. The live sub info will give you the information you need in order to correct any errors.
