Abstract
A system for non-linearly editing video and audio information, uses a device for recognizing speech in the audio information and for generating a character sequence, particularly an ASCII character sequence, to produce an edit decision list (EDL). The generated character sequence is displayed on the display screen of an indicator. With reference to marked parts of the character sequence displayed on the display screen of the indicator, editing data is derived for the EDL.
Claims9
A system for editing digital video and audio information, comprising:
- storage means for recording and reproducing video and audio information,
- means for producing an edit decision list including editing data,
- control means for controlling the storage means depending upon the editing data of the edit decision list,
- means for recognizing speech in the audio information and for generating an ASCII character sequence, which corresponds to the speech as a function of time, for display on a display screen,
- means for displaying indicators corresponding to parts of the character sequence and associating said indicators with the character sequence on the display screen, and
- means for deriving editing data with reference to said indicators.
