For theatres, festivals and venues

Run multilingual live text without turning the show into a technical project.

Sténtor helps venues prepare, cue and share surtitles, translations and audio description through a local-first workflow: one operator desk, multiple screens, a foyer QR page and audience phones when needed.

Sténtor in the venue

One room workflow for regia, screens, foyer and phones.

A theatre can prepare the text before the show, operate cues from the Stage desk, send surtitles to configured screens, show a foyer QR code before the performance, and let spectators follow translation or audio description from their own smartphones.

International hosting Translation

Host a foreign-language production with multilingual surtitles.

Audio description Audio description

Prepare audio description in the same project as the text.

Keep descriptions, cue references and optional audio files close to the script, so audio description can be prepared, revised, tested and shared without a separate workflow.

Carry the same text project from venue to venue.

Bring Sténtor into your theatre.

Use it for a single production, a festival, a touring show or a research pilot. Download first, test it in the room, and share field notes only when you have something concrete to tell us.
