SUBTITLE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18543836 titled 'SUBTITLE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method for processing subtitles in multimedia material, involving speech recognition to generate subtitle text and timestamp information, matching text elements with corresponding material fragments, and synthesizing them to create an animation effect where the subtitle text appears word by word.

  • Speech recognition is used to transcribe audio into subtitle text and timestamp information.
  • Text elements are matched with material fragments based on the timestamp information.
  • The matched text elements and material fragments are combined to create an animation effect in the multimedia material.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in video editing software, online streaming platforms, and language learning tools.

Problems Solved

This technology simplifies the process of adding subtitles to multimedia material, making it more efficient and visually engaging.

Benefits

The method improves the accessibility of multimedia content for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as for language learners.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be integrated into video editing software for content creators, as well as used by online streaming platforms to enhance user experience.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of speech recognition technology in video editing software to transcribe audio into text for subtitles.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle different languages or accents in speech recognition?

The method described in the abstract does not specify how it deals with variations in language or accents during speech recognition.

What file formats are compatible with this subtitle processing method?

The abstract does not mention the specific file formats that can be used with this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a subtitle processing method, a subtitle processing apparatus and an electronic device, wherein the method includes: performing, in a process of editing multimedia material, speech recognition on an audio corresponding to the multimedia material to obtain a subtitle text corresponding to the audio and timestamp information of audio fragments corresponding to respective text elements in the subtitle text; determining material fragments in the multimedia material fragment respectively matching with the text elements according to the timestamp information of the audio fragments respectively corresponding to the respective text elements; and synthesizing the respective text elements respectively with material fragments in a matching time period, to obtain a target multimedia material with an animation effect in which the subtitle text jumps out word by word.
