  • Patent number: 9066049
    Abstract: Provided in some embodiments is a computer implemented method that includes providing script data including script words indicative of dialogue words to be spoken, providing recorded dialogue audio data corresponding to at least a portion of the dialogue words to be spoken, wherein the recorded dialogue audio data includes timecodes associated with recorded audio dialogue words, matching at least some of the script words to corresponding recorded audio dialogue words to determine alignment points, determining that a set of unmatched script words are accurate based on the matching of at least some of the script words matched to corresponding recorded audio dialogue words, generating time-aligned script data including the script words and their corresponding timecodes and the set of unmatched script words determined to be accurate based on the matching of at least some of the script words matched to corresponding recorded audio dialogue words.

  • Patent number: 8825488
    Abstract: A method includes receiving script data including script words for dialogue, receiving audio data corresponding to at least a portion of the dialogue, wherein the audio data includes timecodes associated with dialogue words, generating a sequential alignment of the script words to the dialogue words, matching at least some of the script words to corresponding dialogue words to determine hard alignment points, partitioning the sequential alignment of script words into alignment sub-sets, wherein the bounds of the alignment sub-subsets are defined by adjacent hard-alignment points, and wherein the alignment subsets includes a sub-set of the script words and a corresponding sub-set of dialogue words that occur between the hard-alignment points, determining corresponding timecodes for a sub-set of script words in a sub-subset based on the timecodes associated with the sub-set of dialogue words, and generating time-aligned script data including the sub-set of script words and their corresponding timecodes.
