# Captions Settings

The app provides some of the customization option originally available via Aeneas, and it does a bit of prep on the text to get it ready for alignement.

Such as

* How many characters including spaces are on each line, 35 is default
* always tries to have two lines of text on screen at any given time.
* Allows to ignore some time at the beginning and at the end of the clip. Eg if there is teaser/credits/music etc..
* can chose between a variety of languages to align and create captions from.

> Confirmed working on 38 languages: AFR, ARA, BUL, CAT, CYM, CES, DAN, DEU, ELL, ENG, EPO, EST, FAS, FIN, FRA, GLE, GRC, HRV, HUN, ISL, ITA, JPN, LAT, LAV, LIT, NLD, NOR, RON, RUS, POL, POR, SLK, SPA, SRP, SWA, SWE, TUR, UKR

[From Aeneas documentation](https://github.com/readbeyond/aeneas#supported-features)

* Can chose from a list of supported subtitles/captions file formats.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://autoedit.gitbook.io/subtitles-composer-app/generating-captions/captions-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
