Hopefully this has clarified my position once for all.

The professional software I use is only Eur 250. I've tried Subtitle Workshop and I still find my software works in a more user-friendly as well as faster way and accuracy is guaranteed with less effort.
I wouldn't spend a fortune on software myself. Right now what I'm looking into is the chance to use some software with network support allowing teams to work together on the same material. Unfortunately, my favorite software Annotation Edit doesn't have that capability.
I need to find something to install on our in-house servers because I don't intend to upload my clients' material anywhere on the Internet. If you hear of something, pls. let me know.[/quote]
I was requested a couple of times to provide subtitles in some proprietary format whose suffix I can't recall now. I checked about it, and the only software that could deliver such files cost something to the tune of USD 1,200~1,500. For an occasional gig, I thought it would never pay for itself.
I thought this was the kind of software you were referring to. Quite honestly, I would pay EUR 250 for Subtitle Workshop, if it were not free.
As you apparently use a Mac, while I use a PC, we have different options. [/quote]
