How to display one line of text at a time onto an LED display

[LED captioning display]

Is there a way to display one line of text at a time onto an LED display for
hearing impaired folks in the theatre?

I know that here in Brisbane, Opera Queensland produces its surtitles as
PowerPoint slides. I suspect it's a rather labour-intensive process.

Maybe not - you can 'send' the document to PowerPoint from Word and each
paragraph will be assigned to a slide. You can then format the slides to
give the result you want.

(I should have asked this before)
Do you already have such a LED device? How do you currently enter the
text it displays?

That presumes that the libretto/text is available as a Word document.
Even then, the slide version in opera needs heavy editing: most sung
repetitions are omitted from the surtitles.

But the main effort surely must be to tie the projection into the
computerised cueing system for the timing.
