Abstract: A system for generating closed captions from an audio signal includes an audio pre-processor configured to correct one or more predetermined undesirable attributes from an audio signal and to output one or more speech segments. The system also includes a speech recognition module configured to generate from the one or more speech segments one or more text transcripts and a post processor configured to provide at least one pre-selected modification to the text transcripts. Further included is an encoder configured to broadcast modified text transcripts corresponding to the speech segments as closed captions.

Abstract: A system for detecting and modifying breath pauses in a speech input signal includes a breath detection unit connected to receive the speech input signal and to detect breath pauses. The system also includes a modification unit connected to receive input from the breath detection unit and to replace the breath pauses with a predetermined input and/or to attenuate the breath pauses. The breath detection unit is further configured to output an output speech signal.

Abstract: A system for generating closed captions is provided. The system includes a speech recognition engine configured to generate one or more text transcripts corresponding to one or more speech segments from an audio signal. The system further includes a processing engine, one or more context-based models and an encoder. The processing engine is configured to process the text transcripts. The context-based models are configured to identify an appropriate context associated with the text transcripts. The encoder is configured to broadcast the text transcripts corresponding to the speech segments as closed captions.

Abstract: A method for detecting and modifying breath pauses in a speech input signal includes detecting breath pauses in a speech input signal; modifying the breath pauses by replacing the breath pauses with a predetermined input and/or attenuating the breath pauses; and outputting an output speech signal. A computer program for carrying out the method is also presented.
