Delay for livesubtitles
Livesubtitles im livestream can like a more unintentional View into the Future sa. The subtitles already reveal what we’re just about to starteaker listen – dann fits das picture not toom Gsaidconfusion breaks out, cars burn. Everyone knows this. But joking aside: Ae temporal shift can be very annoying. We show herehow to the subtitles of EVE with the help of the delay function very simply make the subtitles appear delayed can.
Why is this happening?
Livestream platforms usually create a delay of several seconds between the live event and the final output in the stream for the audience. EVE receives the audio signal and outputs the subtitles after approx. one second. The live subtitles therefore reach the viewer faster than the image and sound. Without delay functionthe so-called delayfunction, subtitles then fit neither what is said nor what is seen.
How do I prevent this?
The output of records can be delayed using the delay-function as desired. With the help of URL parameters various settings can be made for the listenerThe subtitles can be configured in the browser window in which the subtitles are displayed. These are only valid for the respective browser in which the parameter is inserted.
The section “?delay=[delay time]” must be assigned to the listenerURL, where the number corresponds to the delay time in milliseconds. A delay of 10000 milliseconds, for example, corresponds to a delay of 10 seconds.

What else is possible?
In addition to the delay-function, EVE offers further options to provide the audience with the best live subtitle experience: For example, as the owner of the event, you can specify in advance whether the subtitles for your event should also be available in other languages are available. Our Desktop app also offers individual setting options, as well as the option of displaying subtitles anywhere on the desktop to be displayed. With the iframe integration you can embed the subtitles on your pageso that they are immediately visible and available to everyone. You can change the size, color and font type in the settings of your EVE account to do this. A URL parameter is then also created for your settings, which adapts the listener to your specifications.
