As it can see in the picture ( Aegisub1 ) the setting is different from the ones are in Wincaps
I think Aegisub calculates it as CPS whereas other software such as Wincaps uses CPM.
My reading rates are 800 CPM and I don't how to do that in Aegisub.

Could you please guide me on how to do this properly?
My final inquiry is regarding Quality Assurance, is it available in Aegisub? and if so, how can I do it? ▲ Collapse

Hello,

I don't know Wincaps and I used Aegisub only once. But 800 CPM should equal to 13.3 CPS (800/60). If you set CPS at 13 or 14 in (Preferences>Interface menu) get roughly 800 CPM. I dont know that simple math works here, maybe there are other unknown elements in the equatation when calculating cps or cpm. Just an idea

Best,
