Abstract
Placement of Closed Captioning (CC) in content by a content provider is overridden by means of a user interface (UI) that allows the user to place CC on screen on top of the video. The CC may be derived directly from the audio and synchronized with play of the audio and video.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a first decoder for communicating with an audio video device (AVD) for decoding audio received at the AVD at a first time;
- a speech-to-text (STT) converter implemented on the AVD receiving output from the first decoder to render closed captioning (CC);
- a second decoder for communicating with the AVD for decoding the audio at a second time later than the first time to generate decoded audio, at least one of the decoders being implemented on a server configured to communicate with the AVD over a network;
- at least one speaker of the AVD for playing the decoded audio;
- and
- at least one display of the AVD for presenting the CC in synchronization with playing the decoded audio from the second decoder on the at least one speaker of the AVD.
3 more elements
A device comprising:
- at least one computer storage that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- decode first audio received at a display device at a first point in time using a first decoder implemented in the display device or by a network server receiving the first audio from the display device;
- generate text from the first audio received from the first decoder using speech-to-text (STT) converter implemented in the display device;
- decode the first audio at a second point of time later than the first point in time using a second decoder implemented by the display device or by a network server receiving the first audio from the display device;
- and
- present the text on a display of the display device in synchronization with playing the first audio decoded by the second decoder on at least one speaker of the display device.
3 more elements
An assembly, comprising:
- at least one processor configured with instructions for:
- receiving at a display device first audio at a first point in time;
- providing the first audio received at the display device to a first decoder implemented in the display device or in a network server for generating text from the first audio received from the first decoder using speech-to-text (STT) converter implemented in the display device;
- decoding the first audio at a second point of time later than the first point in time using a second decoder implemented by the display device;
- and
- presenting the text on a display of the display device in synchronization with playing the first audio decoded by the second decoder on at least one speaker of the display device.
