About:
Libaribcaption is a C++ library that decodes and renders ARIB STD-B24 captions, commonly used for Japanese digital broadcasting. It provides a portable solution for handling these specific subtitle formats, converting them into bitmap images or text. This enables developers to integrate broadcast-standard captioning into media players and streaming applications.

Key Features:

C++11 library with no external dependencies
Supports ARIB STD-B24 decoding and rendering
Portable across multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android)
Supports both bitmap and text-based output
Highly configurable rendering options

Use Cases:

Integrating Japanese broadcast caption support into media players
Processing and converting ARIB captions for web streaming
Developing accessibility features for broadcast-related software

Alternatives:

libcaption – Focuses on CEA-608/708 (North American) standards rather than ARIB.
