VisualSubSync is a Windows subtitle editor built around an audio waveform. Users create subtitles by selecting audio regions and entering text, or load plain-text or RTF transcripts for synchronization. It supports SRT and SSA/ASS formats and exports SRT. Checks flag overlapping subtitles, display times that are too short or long, and lines exceeding a configured length; speed indicators and network suggestions support review. Network mode lets others submit missing words or subtitle suggestions through a browser. A translation mode displays a second subtitle file for reference without editing it. Work can begin with a video, followed by WAV audio extraction and waveform editing. Playback uses Windows DirectShow, and some files may need codecs or splitter filters. The project lists version 1.0.1, dated 2013-06-29, and is released under GNU GPL version 2.0. The maker describes it as a hobby project developed in Delphi and C++.
