SCC Caption Decoder

The contents of SCC caption files are not intended to be readable, which is why it is necessary to rely on a specialized conversion utility to turn them into standard text transcripts.
SCC Caption Decoder is a useful tool that can process one or more SCC files easily and export them to text transcripts with timecodes. Additionally, it is capable of monitoring a folder and converting any new files that are added automatically.

Easy-to-use SCC decoder that supports batch processing

When you get started with this program, you should find that things are relatively straightforward. You can either add an individual file and process it separately, or select an entire folder and have the app decode every SCC file it comes across.
As far as the output settings are concerned, the application can generate a transcript in line by line or paragraph form, and you can specify whether or not timecodes should be included. Furthermore, the program offers you the option of keeping the original SCC timecode or removing the buffer time.

Can monitor a folder and perform automatic conversions

A very useful feature offered by SCC Caption Decoder is the Watch Folder function. When activated, the application watches a certain directory and converts any new files that are added without additional user input.
You can specify where the processed SCC files should be exported, as well as choose how often the program should perform checks.

Features a basic GUI, but it can also run as a background process

The application’s user interface is not all that impressive, but its layout is simple enough. However, it is worth mentioning that you also have the option of hiding the main GUI and running the program as a background process.
All in all, SCC Caption Decoder is a useful tool for those who need to translate the contents of SCC caption files into readable text transcripts. It is easy enough to use, but it comes with a rather outdated UI.
