Real-time subtitles: a stream that never waits for the subtitles
Real-time subtitles no longer hold up your stream. The delay drops to about 15 seconds, and the subtitles end up in the recording.
We have rebuilt how Real-time subtitles run on your live stream. If you use AI subtitles, translations or voice-over at your events, these are the problems it solves.
The stream no longer waits for the subtitles. Your stream plays whether the subtitle service is running or not. You can stream a test before starting the subtitles, and starting, stopping or restarting them doesn’t interrupt the picture. If the subtitle service has a problem, viewers lose the subtitles for a moment, not the event.
A shorter delay. Viewers now watch about 15 seconds behind your encoder, down from about 60 seconds. The delay is fixed, so every subtitle and every voice-over line lands on the frames it belongs to.
Subtitles in the recording. The subtitles are recorded with the stream. Save the recording in the editor and the subtitles appear on it in every language, timed to your edits. No separate order needed.
Language changes while live. Changing languages during the event is saved first and applied when you choose, and the page tells you up front what applying it does to the stream.
On-site audiences can follow the subtitles and voice-over as before.
Screenshot TBD: the event page with subtitles and the audio track menu.
