And you see, I get 2 English subtitles for the Blu-ray movie.

The Alice In Wonderland_001_1_English.srt – movie dialogue
The Alice In Wonderland_001_2_English.srt – forced subtitles (which displays only when a foreign language is spoken)

ByteCopy uses OCR (Optical character recognition) to read the Blu-ray and DVD image subtitles. Additional font object libraries for Latin-based languages (English, French, Spanish, etc) and Asia languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korea) are included to ensure subtitles be recognized and converted correctly. ByteCopy does better than many other subtitles converter apps per we tested.
