Speech recognition based captioning system

摘要

A system and associated method of converting audio data from a television signal into textual data for display as a closed caption on an display device is provided. The audio data is decoded and audio speech signals are filtered from the audio data. The audio speech signals are parsed into phonemes in accordance by a speech recognition module. The parsed phonemes are grouped into words and sentences responsive to a database of words corresponding to the grouped phonemes. The words are converted into text data which is formatted for presentation on the display device as closed captioned textual data.
