A method comprising:
- accessing data representing a program schedule of a media program, wherein the program schedule comprises first text;
- selecting second text from among the first text;
- transmitting, via a communication network, a first instruction configured to cause the selected second-text to be added to an electronic dictionary of a closed-captioning generator;
- and
- transmitting, via the communication network, a second instruction configured to cause the selected second-text to be deleted from the electronic dictionary of the closed-captioning generator.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that when executed cause performance of a set of acts comprising:
- accessing data representing a program schedule of a media program, wherein the program schedule comprises first text;
- selecting second text from among the first text;
- transmitting, via a communication network, a first instruction configured to cause the selected second-text to be added to an electronic dictionary of a closed-captioning generator;
- and
- transmitting, via the communication network, a second instruction configured to cause the selected second-text to be deleted from the electronic dictionary of the closed-captioning generator.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to perform a set of acts comprising:
- accessing data representing a program schedule of a media program, wherein the program schedule comprises first text;
- selecting second text from among the first text;
- transmitting, via a communication network, a first instruction configured to cause the selected second-text to be added to an electronic dictionary of a closed-captioning generator;
- and
- transmitting, via the communication network, a second instruction configured to cause the selected second-text to be deleted from the electronic dictionary of the closed-captioning generator.
