I'm trying to find a tool or library (possibly an open-source tool) to parse or convert .scc closed caption subtitle files to a human readable text, say .srt or xml or any text formats. Is there a strong tool or library to do that?

Previously, I was trying to use PyCaption library in Python. But it fails to parse certain .scc files.

This command line tool currently converts better .scc files than PyCaption.

php subtitles.phar input.scc output.srt

I have used CCASDI.exe (Windows Executable) from this page successfully: http://www.theneitherworld.com/mcpoodle/SCC_TOOLS/DOCS/SCC_TOOLS.HTML#ccasdi

And I have also used this JavaScript library: https://github.com/jasonrojas/node-captions

Or you can also use this online tool to edit SCC files: https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit/online

I know of other people who have been using the same Python tool you used, but with a small tweak: https://github.com/bdon/pycaption

You added the Java tag to your question. Unfortunately, I don't know of any Java tool to read/convert SCC files, but I hope the above helps.
