Abstract
Systems and methods are operable to present text identified in a presented video image of a media content event. An exemplary embodiment receives a complete video frame that is associated with a presented video image of a video content event, wherein the presented video image includes a region of text; finds the text in the complete video frame; uses an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm to translate the found text; and presents the translated text. The translated text may be presented on a display concurrently with the video image that is presented on the display. Alternatively, or additionally, the translated text may be presented as audible speech emitted from at least one speaker.

17. A media device, comprising:
-
a media content stream interface that receives a media content event comprising a stream of video frames that are serially presented, wherein each video frame includes a video image of a captured scene; a presentation device interface that communicates the stream of video frames to a display of a media presentation device; a processor system communicatively coupled to the media content stream interface and the presentation device interface, wherein the processor system is configured to; select a complete video frame from the received stream of video frames; find text in the video image of a captured scene of the selected complete video frame; translate the found text using an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm; and communicate the translated text to the display via the presentation device interface. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A method of operating a media device, the method comprising:
-
presenting a video image of a captured scene of a media content event, wherein the captured scene includes visible text; receiving an input that activates a text translation mode of operation of the media device; selecting a complete video frame corresponding to the video image in response to activation of the text translation mode of operation; finding the text in the complete video frame based on a text search region of the presented video image, wherein the text search region encompasses at least part of the text; using an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm to translate the found text; and presenting the translated text. - View Dependent Claims (20)
