The software is a karaoke and text codec library that can be embedded in ogg files. It allows for the playback of audio with accompanying lyrics and text information.
One of Kate's standout features is the ability to describe arbitrary curves, making hand drawing of shapes a breeze. This motion feature is not limited to karaoke use and can be attached to various semantics such as position and color. This enables the user to define animations, including scrolling or fading text overlays.
Kate allows for the carrying of text and images through its codec, and users can create animated overlays by attaching a series of curves to properties such as font size and text position. This feature is particularly useful for movie subtitles, either text-based or image-based.
Overall, Kate provides a versatile means of handling multiplexed data, including karaoke, subtitles, and e-books. Its powerful overlay codec and motion features make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to create animated and visually engaging content.
