Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A way to automatically adjust/fix subtitles to be more in line with TED guidelines.

Describe the solution you'd like

A checkbox, on by default, that runs a separate function to provide a second pass to add those fixes programmatically.

Describe alternatives you've considered

NA

Additional context

• [ ] There is a subfixer9 executable that provides those changes. which can be used as ./subfixer9 -file TestFile.srt 20.999 -speed_epsilon 0.5 however it be good to look a the code, and see if this can be brought into the app as a node/js module, to keep consistency with the rest of the project.
