On Book!

Surtitles that follow the actors: it tracks the script as they speak, and translates live when they leave it. The script is prepared as a table of cards in several languages.

I made it to surtitle live theatre.

On Book! following a made-up demo show, replayed from a saved run: the script with the line being spoken marked, and the Spanish surtitle on the stage picture

The surtitle as the audience sees it, over the stage picture (the demo show)

Through a stretch heard as nonsense, On Book! still puts up the right line, by the timing it learned from an earlier run

Process

The script as a table of title cards, in English, German, Spanish and French, each translation marked draft, corrected or approved
