US 2022/0028390 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCRIPTED AUDIO PRODUCTION

Abstract

A scripted audio production system in which the scripted audio production computerized process decreases production time by improving computerized processes and technological systems for pronunciation research and script preparation, narration, editing, proofing and mastering. The system enables the user to upload their manuscript and recorded audio of the narration of the manuscript to the system. The system then compares the recorded audio against previously uploaded manuscript and any mistakes or deviations from the manuscript are highlighted or otherwise indicated to the user. In other embodiments, after uploading the manuscript, the system enables the user to press “record,” and as soon as they start speaking, the scripted audio production technology system tracks the point within the manuscript from where they are reading. Any mistakes or deviations from the script are automatically highlighted. The narrator may then stop, and re-record a sentence after a mistake. The system automatically pieces together the last-read audio into a clean file without the need for significant user interaction. The process may also be performed on the recorded audio by the narrator first uploading the audio and manuscript to the scripted audio production technology system.

A method, comprising:

electronically receiving a manuscript;
electronically storing the manuscript;
and
for each portion of a plurality of portions of recorded audio of speech generated from reading of the manuscript by a narrator:
electronically determining to which particular portion of the manuscript the portion of recorded audio corresponds;
determining whether a discrepancy exists between the portion of the manuscript and the portion of the recorded audio based on the determination of to which portion of the manuscript the portion of recorded audio corresponds;
and
electronically determining whether to perform an action based on the determination whether a discrepancy exists between the portion of the manuscript and the portion of the recorded audio.
