.vtt subtitle file problem #108

Closed sweetsmile888 closed 1 year ago

The Punctuation of the original text in the generated .vtt subtitle file is missing, and many spaces make the text incoheren

That's because Microsoft only returns the word without punctuation. In order for this to be fixed, the library needs to somehow restore the punctuation which is not as easy as it sounds. For example, if you input the word 162 the subtitles sometimes would have the word 162 spelled out as one sixty two. So as you can see, it's not a very simple issue to solve as the subtitles returned by Microsoft does not match the input text.
