SE on OS X

Posted by nikse.dk 2012-04-17View comment (one)
Subtitle Edit is mainly a windows application, but due to Mono it also works reasonably on Linux (I use Ubuntu).

However, I don't have a mac or know anything about macs, but kuhnboy has SE up and running on OS X with Tesseract ocr. Nice :)
