The Caption Processor is a command-line utility designed to process SMPTE Timecode-based captions. It reads an input file containing timecode, speaker names, and speech text, and outputs a formatted text file with the specified modifications.

• Removes all lines containing timecode.
• Formats speaker names in bold followed by a colon.
• Consolidates speech from the same speaker into a single block.
• Convert first character of appended text to lowercase if previous text doesn't end with period

To install the required dependencies, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

A txt file formatted as follows

00:00:00:00 - 00:00:22:19
Speaker 1
I'm going to tell you something very important

00:00:22:20 - 00:00:27:22
Speaker 1
but I think you'll have to a wait a while before I tell you

00:00:27:24 - 00:00:30:02
Speaker 2
This is very frustrating.

To run the utility, use the following command in the terminal:

python src/main.py <input_file> <output_file>.md

Replace <input_file> with the path to your input file containing the SMPTE Timecode-based captions, and <output_file> with the desired path for the output file.

brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath

cd to this application directory
pipx install .

pipx install --force .

To run the tests, navigate to the tests directory and execute:

pytest

This will run all unit tests defined in the test_processor.py file.
