Patent number: 9536567Abstract: In an aspect, in general, method for aligning an audio recording and a transcript includes receiving a transcript including a plurality of terms, each term of the plurality of terms associated with a time location within a different version of the audio recording, forming a plurality of search terms from the terms of the transcript, determining possible time locations of the search terms in the audio recording, determining a correspondence between time locations within the different version of the audio recording associated with the search terms and the possible time locations of the search terms in the audio recording, and aligning the audio recording and the transcript including updating the time location associated with terms of the transcript based on the determined correspondence.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2012Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: NEXIDIA INC.Inventors: Jacob B. Garland, Drew Lanham, Daryl Kip Watters, Marsal Gavalda, Mark Finlay, Kenneth K. Griggs

Publication number: 20100299131Abstract: Some general aspects relate to systems, software, and methods for media processing. In one aspect, a script associated with a multimedia recording is accepted, wherein the script includes dialogue, speaker indications and video event indications. A group of search terms are formed from the dialogue, with each search term being associated with a location within the script. Zero or more putative locations of each of the search terms are identified in a time interval of the multimedia recording. For at least some of the search terms, multiple putative locations are identified in the time interval of the multimedia recording. The time interval of the multimedia recording and the script are partially aligned using the determined putative locations of the search terms and one or more of the following: a result of matching audio characteristics of the multimedia recording with the speaker indications, and a result of matching video characteristics of the multimedia recording with the video event indications.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2009Publication date: November 25, 2010Applicant: Nexidia Inc.Inventors: Drew Lanham, Daryl Kip Watters, Marsal Gavalda

Publication number: 20100274667Abstract: A computer-implemented method provides access to multimedia content, which include units of content that include audio components. Meta data for the units of content is formed to an association of key phrases detected in the audio components and the units. In some examples, forming the meta data includes determining a candidate set of key phrases associated with the unit of multimedia and searching for the presence of the candidate key phrases in the audio components. Forming the meta data then includes forming data representing the presence of key phrases in the audio components.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2009Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: Nexidia Inc.Inventors: Drew Lanham, Marsal Gavalda, John Willcutts, Gordon Edwards
