Hybrid-captioning system
First Claim
1. A hybrid-captioning system to edit captions for spoken utterances within video comprising:
- an editor-type caption-editing subsystem in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a groups-of-lines basis without respect to particular lines of the captions and without respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances;
a line-based caption-editing subsystem in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a line-by-line basis with respect to particular lines of the captions and with respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances; and
, a mechanism to, for each section of spoken utterances within the video, select the editor-type caption-editing subsystem or the line-based caption-editing subsystem to provide captions for the section of spoken utterances in accordance with a predetermined criteria.

Abstract
A hybrid-captioning system for editing captions for spoken utterances within video includes an editor-type caption-editing subsystem, a line-based caption-editing subsystem, and a mechanism. The editor-type subsystem is that in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a groups-of-line basis without respect to particular lines of the captions and without respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances. The line-based subsystem is that in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a line-by-line basis with respect to particular lines of the captions and with respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances. For each section of spoken utterances within the video, the mechanism is to select the editor-type or the line-based subsystem to provide captions for the section of spoken utterances in accordance with a predetermined criteria.

9. A method comprising:
-
in relation to video for which captions are to be edited, receiving user input as to a current section of the video for which captions have been generated, within an editor-type caption-editing subsystem in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a groups-of-lines basis without respect to particular lines of the captions and without respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances;
where the user input corresponds to termination of the editor-type caption editing subsystem, transmitting the captions generated for the current section to a general-matching subsystem;
the general-matching subsystem transmitting the captions generated for the current section to a line-based caption-editing subsystem in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a line-by-line basis with respect to particular lines of the captions and with respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances;
otherwise, transmitting the captions generated for the current section to a particular-matching subsystem; and
,the particular-matching subsystem transmitting the captions generated for the current section back to the editor-type caption-editing subsystem. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
a tangible recordable data storage medium; and
,means in the medium for selecting an editor-type caption-editing subsystem or a line-based caption-editing subsystem to provide captions for each of a plurality of sections of spoken utterances of video, in accordance with a predetermined criteria, wherein the editor-type caption-editing subsystem is that in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a groups-of-lines basis without respect to particular lines of the captions and without respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances, and where the line-based caption-editing subsystem is that in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a line-by-line basis with respect to particular lines of the captions and with respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances. - View Dependent Claims (20)
