Ensure your captions are readable by controlling the character count per second.

Characters Per Second (CPS) Check
The Characters Per Second (CPS) Check ensures that your translated captions remain readable by maintaining a controlled character count per second. This QA check is crucial for video content, where viewers need to read captions comfortably without missing any information.
Features
- Time Difference Calculation: Extracts start and end times from the context to compute the duration (Note: This check only works on the .srt files in your Crowdin projects.).
- CPS Calculation: Measures the characters per second of the translation based on the duration. ()
- Threshold Enforcement: Compares the CPS to a predefined maximum threshold and flags captions that exceed this limit.
Note: You may need to adjust the CPS configuration of this check for non-Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. CPS is configured directly in the code of the QA check.
