Whether a word found in a background of the video is similar to a word found in the one or more subtitles is determined. Responsive to determining the word found in the background of the video is similar to the word found in the one or more subtitles, one or more updated subtitles are generated.

A metric for the one or more updated subtitles is calculated. Whether the metric is larger than a threshold is determined. Responsive to determining the metric is larger than the threshold, the video is updated to include the one or more updated subtitles.
