The sTDA program allows fast calculation of excited states. It is interfaced to TURBOMOLE, GAUSSIAN, TERACHEM, MOLPRO, and Q-CHEM. Spectra may be plotted and visualized with the SpecDis program.

In combination with the extended tight-binding (xtb) Hamiltonian for the ground state, ultrafast computation of spectra is possible with the sTDA-xTB scheme
