Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) April 19, 2004--UniSay, a provider of innovative software and services for postproduction, is announcing a complete software-only solution for closed captioning and subtitling using the Avid® MetaSync technology.
UniSay Subtitler addresses the needs of postproduction professionals in small and medium-size studios seeking an affordable closed captioning and subtitling solution compatible with their existing PC-based NLE systems.
UniSay combines an automated online service with client software to offer a cost effective alternative for professional quality Do It Yourself” closed captioning and subtitling. By enabling control over the entire captioning workflow, UniSay provides Avid users an opportunity to tap into new revenue streams.
