Abstract
A content access device uses local audio translation for content presentation. The content access device receives video and first audio data associated with a first language. The content access device uses translation software and/or other automated translation services to translate the first audio data to second audio data associated with a second language. The content access device synchronizes the video with the second audio data and outputs the video and the second audio data for presentation. The first audio data may be audio, text, and so on. The second audio data may be output as audio, text, and so on.
Claims20
A content access device, comprising:
- a communication unit;
- a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions to:
- receive video using the communication unit;
- receive, using the communication unit, first audio of a first language corresponding to the video, the video and the first audio corresponding to at least one of a television program, a movie, or video on demand;
- buffer the video while:
- converting the first audio to first text in the first language;
- translating the first text to second text in a second language;
- generating second audio from the second text;
- and
- synchronizing the second audio with the video;
- and
- output the second audio with the video from the buffer.
A content access device, comprising:
- a communication unit;
- a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions to:
- receive video using the communication unit;
- receive, using the communication unit, first audio data of a first language corresponding to the video, the video and the first audio data corresponding to at least one of a television program, a movie, or video on demand;
- buffer the video while:
- using translation software to translate the first audio data to second audio data of a second language;
- and
- synchronizing the second audio data with the video prior to outputting the video;
- and
- output the second audio data with the video from the buffer.
A method comprising:
- receiving video using at least one processor;
- receiving, using the at least one processor, first audio of a first language corresponding to the video, the video and the first audio corresponding to at least one of a television program, a movie, or video on demand;
- buffering the video using the at least one processor while:
- converting the first audio to first text in the first language using the at least one processor;
- translating the first text to a second language using the at least one processor;
- and
- synchronizing, using the at least one processor, second audio corresponding to translation of the first text to the second audio with the video;
- and
- outputting, using the at least one processor, the second audio with the video from the buffer.
