Abstract

A system includes an interface operable to detect a plurality of active audio streams in a plurality of multimedia streams, each multimedia stream associated with a particular user. The system further includes a processor operable to generate a text translation of each active audio stream and generate a script comprising the text translation of each active audio stream and an indication of the particular user associated with each active audio stream, the text translations being ordered according to times associated with the respective corresponding active audio stream.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

an interface operable to detect a plurality of active audio streams in a plurality of multimedia streams, each multimedia stream associated with a particular user;

a processor operable to;

generate a text translation of each active audio stream; and

generate a script comprising the text translation of each active audio stream and an indication of the particular user associated with each active audio stream, the text translations being ordered according to times associated with the respective corresponding active audio stream.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the script further comprises, for each text translation, an indication of the time associated with the corresponding active audio stream.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further operable to detect an event associated with a stream of the plurality of multimedia streams, and wherein the script further comprises an indication of the event and the particular user associated with the stream.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further operable to receive one or more responses associated with the event, and wherein the script further comprises an indication of the one or more responses received.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further operable to:

detect visual content associated with a stream of the plurality of multimedia streams; and

generate a first image based on the visual content; and

wherein the script further comprises the first image.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the processor is further operable to generate a second image based on the visual content, and wherein the script further comprises the first image.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further operable to filter the plurality of active audio streams based on audio levels of the active audio streams.

8. A method, comprising:

detecting a plurality of active audio streams in a plurality of multimedia streams, each multimedia stream associated with a particular user;

generating a text translation of each active audio stream; and

generating, by a computer, a script comprising the text translation of each active audio stream and an indication of the particular user associated with each active audio stream, the text translations being ordered according to times associated with the respective corresponding active audio stream.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the script further comprises, for each text translation, an indication of the time associated with the corresponding active audio stream.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising detecting an event associated with a stream of the plurality of multimedia streams, wherein the script further comprises an indication of the event and the particular user associated with the stream.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving one or more responses associated with the event, wherein the script further comprises an indication of the one or more responses received.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

detecting visual content associated with a stream of the plurality of multimedia streams; and

generating a first image based on the visual content; and

wherein the script further comprises the first image.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising generating a second image based on the visual content, wherein the script further comprises the first image.

14. The method of claim 8, further comprising filtering the plurality of active audio streams based on audio levels of the active audio streams.

15. A computer readable medium comprising instructions operable, when executed by a processor, to:

detect a plurality of active audio streams in a plurality of multimedia streams, each multimedia stream associated with a particular user;

generate a text translation of each active audio stream; and

generate a script comprising the text translation of each active audio stream and an indication of the particular user associated with each active audio stream, the text translations being ordered according to times associated with the respective corresponding active audio stream.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the script further comprises, for each text translation, an indication of the time associated with the corresponding active audio stream.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions are further operable to detect an event associated with a stream of the plurality of multimedia streams, and wherein the script further comprises an indication of the event and the particular user associated with the stream.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the instructions are further operable to receive one or more responses associated with the event, and wherein the script further comprises an indication of the one or more responses received.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions are further operable to:

detect visual content associated with a stream of the plurality of multimedia streams; and

generate a first image based on the visual content; and

wherein the script further comprises the first image.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the instructions are further operable to generate a second image based on the visual content, and wherein the script further comprises the first image.

21. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions are further operable to filter the plurality of active audio streams based on audio levels of the active audio streams.
