==Original Abstract Submitted==

A content distribution system and method for distribution-side generation of captions is disclosed. The content distribution system receives media content including video content and audio content associated with the video content and generates a first text based on a speech-to-text analysis of the audio content. The content distribution system further generates a second text that describes audio elements of a scene associated with the media content. The audio elements are different from a speech component of the audio content. The content distribution system further generates captions for the video content based on the first text and the second text and transmits the generated captions to an electronic device via an Over-the-Air (OTA) signal, via a cable, or via a streaming Internet connection.
