Works good enough on the dozen or so TV and radio interview transcriptions I bash into shape every week, 'misplaced' line endings are the least of the difficulties of dealing with automated transcription text -

Select a contemporary current affairs program on your TV or youtube, squelch the audio, and turn on subtitles - and count how many times the presenter and guests are allegged to have said things like 'breaks it', 'queue easy', 'helicoptor mummy' etc They're a few of the of common mistakes auto transcribers are making today. A few months ago 'Lou house bombast you crane' popped up a lot Ψ²

In part its why I love the Mark feature in ebook-tools. After a while one gets to be proficient at reading the mind of the machine
