The progressive method of calculation is available for Characters per Second ( cps) only. The adjustment is the strength of the progressive calculation. The intersection point is the time when the reading speed calculated by both, progressive and non-progressive, methods is the same. When the option is selected the reading speed increases along with the number of characters. If you don't need punctuation to be included in reading speed calculations then you need to turn it off. It is turned on by default and will count any punctuation marks towards the reading speed limits. We strongly suggest to leave this option turned off in case you are working with subtitles in other than Japanese language.Ĭount punctuation - This is yet another option intended for use with subtitles in Japanese.

In this subsection you can adjust the reading speed parameters, as well as change the reading speed measurement method – by choosing between Characters per Second ( cps) and Words per Minute ( wpm).Ĭount Spaces - includes any white space character (regular space, tab, ideographic space, etc) as well as the full-width low line (U+FF3F) character in the reading speed calculation.Ĭount half width characters as 0.5 - This option is intended primarily for use when working with subtitle files in Japanese and by turning it on will make EZTitles counts each half-width character as 0.5 due to the typically low reading speed settings for these languages.
