Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for validating and correcting sync errors of captions of a media asset comprising a caption file, wherein each caption has a start time and an end time. The system decodes the caption file using caption decoder for generating a format agnostic XML file, a transcriber engine extracts an audio track and transcribes the audio for generating a transcript, a caption analyser identifies matching set of words in the transcript and assign a match score and classifies the captions as one of MATCHING and UNDETECTED based on the match score. The caption analyser determines sync offset for each caption that is classified as MATCHNING and the system uses a prediction engine for predicting sync offset of the captions that are classified as UNDETECTED.
