#014Mr. Ernest Worthing.

#015Enter LANE.

#016How are you, my dear Ernest?

#017What brings you up to town?

#018Oh, pleasure, pleasure!

#019What else should bring one anywhere?

#020Eating as usual, I see, Algy!

#021I believe it is customary in good society

#022to take some slight refreshment at five o'clock.

#023Where have you been since last Thursday?

#024Stiffly.

#025In the country.

#026Sitting down on the sofa.

#027What on earth do you do there?

#028When one is in town one amuses oneself.

#029When one is in the country one amuses other people.

#030It is excessively boring.

#031Pulling off his gloves.

#032And who are the people you amuse?

#033Oh, neighbours, neighbours.

#034Airily.

#035Got nice neighbours in Shropshire?

#036Perfectly horrid!

#037Never speak to one of them.

#038How immensely you must amuse them!

#039Goes over and takes a sandwich.

One Workflow, From Script to Show Night

Keep preparation, editorial review, rehearsal, live cueing, room-visible projection, and audience-phone delivery in one accountable workflow.

Ingest & Analyze

Upload a Word script and review how speakers, dialogue, and formatting have been structured before anyone treats the result as cue-ready.

Translate & Adapt

Create draft translations across 100+ supported languages, then let the people responsible for the performance review wording, line breaks, and context. Live viewer languages still depend on your plan.

Run Projection + Mobile

Cue room-visible projection and enabled audience-phone languages from the same Operator Cockpit, while keeping their delivery conditions clear.

See how preparation, translation, rehearsal, live control, projection, and audience delivery stay connected.

Choose the right workflow

Two workflows for live text.

Choose the workflow based on whether your words are prepared before the show or spoken in the moment.

Prepared cues

SurtitleLive

Prepare, review, and rehearse a script. Then cue surtitles to projection and audience phones from the Operator Cockpit.

For scripted theatre, opera, and productions with a rehearsed cue path.

Live captioning

Pockitle Live

Available now · Create a live-captioning show to get started.

For spoken events, talks, panels, workshops, and performances without a prepared caption script.

Built for a Responsible Live-Text Workflow

One workspace supports script preparation, reviewed translations, live deployment, and audience access for a single show, festival, or season. The production still decides its scope, staffing, access information, and contingency plan.

Granular Collaboration

Invite translators, directors, and operators, then set Edit, Review, or Read-only access to match the work each person has agreed to do.

Audience Access

Audience members scan a QR code to enter. Deployments stay live for the plan's visible window.

Deployment Regions

Lite deployments use system-selected regional placement. Pro deployments can choose US, EU, or Asia.

Multi-Language Deployment

Deploy your source script plus plan-limited translated languages so each audience member can choose an enabled viewer language.

Multi-Project Workspace

Validate a workflow with one project or manage multiple active productions from one workspace.

High-Volume AI Processing

Use weekly AI credits for script analysis, translation drafts, and review workflows; keep final editorial responsibility with the people presenting the work.

Projection/mobile delivery and the Operator Cockpit are the two workflows most teams should understand first.

Common Questions about SurtitleLive

Practical questions about preparing and delivering live text for performances.

How does SurtitleLive work with PowerPoint or slide-based surtitles?

PowerPoint can work for simple slide-based surtitles. SurtitleLive adds live cue controls, jump recovery, blackout, and one cue path for projection plus audience phones.

Do audience members need to download an app?

No. Audience members scan a QR code and open the Viewer in their mobile browser. They can choose from the languages the production has enabled; no app-store download is required.

Is this suitable for opera surtitling?

Yes, when a trained operator prepares and rehearses the cue path. Manual cueing lets the operator align surtitles to musical tempo and performance choices.

Can I use Projection Mode with LED screens and projectors?

Yes. Projection Mode is the room-visible output path for LED screens and projectors: open the Projection Window on the display computer and cue it from the same live controls. Mobile surtitles are separate and remain cloud-delivered.

When should I use Pockitle Live instead of SurtitleLive?

Use SurtitleLive when you prepare a script and rehearse its cue path. Use Pockitle Live when people are speaking in the room: it turns one spoken source language into captions and can show up to three selected translations on audience phones and venue screens.
