The innovation of LiveText allows for subtitles in 223 languages on demand, including those with different reading directions, characters or alphabets. This technology has global applications, enabling people who don't speak the local language, or who have hearing loss, to attend and enjoy theater performances using smart glasses. An estimated one in five people worldwide experience some degree of hearing loss. Although initially developed for theatre, the technology has broader potential applications, such as multilingual conferences or international live events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>How the technology works\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What makes this solution unique is that the subtitles are generated directly from the actors’ voices. The sound (spoken or sung) is transmitted via each actor’s individual microphone to the audio mixing console and then to the software. The software converts the spoken words into real-time text—translated if necessary—and sends it directly to the smart glasses worn by the audience. The text appears at the same visual distance as the actors on stage, creating a calm and seamless viewing experience. Different colors are used to indicate which character is speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>A performing arts innovation\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Het Nationale Theater created the concept and has developed the technology over the past few years in collaboration with partner \u003Cu>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fxrai.glass\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">XRAI\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fu>, using \u003Cu>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.getdante.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">Dante\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fu> technology. \u003Cstrong>Dan Scarfe, CEO and Founder of XRAI:\u003C\u002Fstrong> \u003Cem>“Partnering with Het Nationale Theater to bring LiveText to life has been an extraordinary milestone for us.
