How to read this sample

Reading density is the character count divided by the cue duration in seconds. Spaces and punctuation are included in these English-only examples. Density is rounded to one decimal place, with half values rounded up. This is a layout sample with fixed values, not an automatic file checker.

The target of 18 is illustrative. Choose a target for your audience, language, platform and accessibility needs. A density flag does not judge translation quality or prove synchronization with speech.

The native checkboxes can mark a local review during this preview. Their state is not saved or sent. An application using this component must provide its own data, calculations and persistence.
