Methododolgy for live text broadcasting

摘要

A Transcription Engine is able to broadcast over the Internet streaming text associated with a broadcast to registered and authenticated end users who may be hearing impaired or may have difficulty understanding the language used in the broadcast. The end users' understanding of the information being broadcast is improved because of the availability of the associated text. The Transcription Engine comprises an authentication server, a database server and a Transcription server. End users are first registered automatically at a website associated with the Transcription Engine. Registered end users can then login and are authenticated automatically by the Transcription Engine prior to being given access to a live or recorded broadcast of associated text. The end users thus obtain access to the associated text broadcast via the Internet after having been authenticated by the Transcription Engine.
