cps (characters per second) function on premiere pro captions

Hello everyone, I'm starting to work in audio description and subtitling for for blind and deaf people and I'm looking for a feature that show the characters per second in a title. It's so helpful to make the scripts with the caption function of premiere that already shows tc time when working on text to record and also can be so helpful to check the duration of the captions so they can be readed in time in case of be working with captions for translation or deaf people.

 

Since now it's becoming more and more comon to make captions for media I think that if it's not already on premiere this can be a really nice feature to add. Also a color function that changes with the characters per second to see visually if the caption or script are ok can be a good adition to this function.

 

Best regards from Spain and God bless you all 🙂

I am also curious about this. The tutorials I have found so far make no mention of cps or other parameters. CPS and duration, as this original post says, are really basic tool for subtitling, and it makes all of the difference on readability.
