Captioners only need a web browser and can work from anywhere in the world; no software installation, licenses, or dongles required. Multiple captioners can work on the same project simultaneously, and changes are synchronized in real time.
Captioners can work with all video codecs and formats even when working remotely, including master quality ProRes, AVC-Intra, J2K, MXF, IMF, MPEG-2 transport streams, etc. without transcoding proxy files.
Telestream has the world’s best CEA-708 encoding technology for ensuring broadcast compatibility, the best media format support and transcoding technology.
Stanza uses the advanced IMSC 1.1 profile of TTML as its native format, and supports complex Unicode scripts, bidirectional text, vertical text layouts, Ruby, and other features needed for subtitling in all languages.
As a first step toward AI captioning via an optional Telestream Cloud account, you can automatically convert speech into captions using the latest enhanced models.
Your original quality masters remain on your server, while captioners can work remotely and receive only a preview stream.
REST API interface for integration with automation systems and custom workflows
Long-running exports such as embedding captions or burning in subtitles run in the background on the server, freeing up captioners for other tasks.
Projects can contain multiple languages of subtitles, and when exporting closed captions or Teletext, multiple languages can be mapped to the required services or page numbers.
Manage all of your projects and media files from a central location. Revisions are stored using version control, allowing for persistent undo/redo and revision management.
Import captions and subtitles from most types of files, including embedded captions and Teletext in media files.
Stanza supports all modern export formats, including embed captions into media files, subtitle overlays & burn-ins, SCC & MCC caption files, and TTML, WebVTT, SRT, and EBU-STL subtitle files.
