FAB Subtitler LIVE is a software package for a PC with Windows which is used for live subtitling. The software includes all functions of FAB Subtitler STD and FAB Subtitler PRO.
Live subtitling is mostly done by one or more persons in the following way:
- Before the TV program begins, prompter texts are downloaded from the newsystem and converted to subtitles manually
- During the TV program subtitles that were prepared in advance are transmitted manually.
- Subtitles which cannot be prepared in advance are spoken by a “respeaker person”, recognized by speech recognition software and are transmitted automatically or after manual correction
- For languages that do not have a speech recognition engine subtitles canalso be typed and transmitted in real time
