Abstract
The present disclosure includes a hybrid waveform system that displays a hybrid waveform to a user. In general, the hybrid waveform system provides a hybrid waveform to a user that uses converted readable text and waveforms to represent an audio segment. By providing a user with a hybrid waveform, the hybrid waveform system offers users with a number of benefits, such as providing an audio display that enables a user to quickly ascertain context information and audio information typically missing from audio transcriptions.
Claims20
In a digital environment for producing multimedia that includes audio, a method for viewing and editing the multimedia, the method comprising:
- identifying an audio segment;
- converting, using at least one processor, at least one speech-recognizable portion of the audio segment into readable text;
- displaying, within a graphical user interface, the readable text to represent the at least one converted speech-recognizable portion of the audio segment;
- and
- displaying, within the graphical user interface and inline with the displayed readable text, at least one waveform to represent at least one non-speech-recognizable portion of the audio segment.
In a digital environment for producing multimedia that includes audio, a method for viewing and editing the multimedia, the method comprising:
- identifying an audio segment;
- detecting, by at least one processor, recognizable speech and non-recognizable speech within the audio segment;
- converting the detected recognizable speech to readable text;
- generating a plurality of waveforms for the non-recognizable speech;
- displaying, within a graphical user interface, the plurality of waveforms for the non-recognizable speech inline with the readable text;
- receiving a user input modifying a portion of readable text from the displayed readable text;
- and
- changing at least one audio characteristic of an audio portion in the audio segment corresponding to the modified portion of readable text based on the received user input.
In a digital environment for producing multimedia that includes audio, a system for viewing and editing the multimedia, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- identify an audio segment;
- convert at least one speech-recognizable portion of the audio segment into readable text;
- display, within a graphical user interface, the readable text to represent the at least one converted speech-recognizable portion of the audio segment;
- and
- display, within the graphical user interface and inline with the displayed readable text, at least one waveform to represent, at least one non-speech-recognizable portion of the audio segment.
