So this one just looks like a plain text. It is. So you can just create a 'transcript' from just a text file! Sweet!
Normally, closed captioning stuffs includes timecodes.

Recommended windows software: just anything. There are so many applications out there that do the job.
For the mac: definitely MovieCaptioner. They do the job properly, it's easy to use, and all the stuffs.
