Abstract: The invention includes a computer-implemented method of determining a required length of a scene comprising a speaking character, wherein the scene is localized in multiple spoken languages, the method comprising: obtaining a script for the speaking character in a first language; automatically translating the script into one or more second languages; performing text-to-speech processing to generate a localized audio sample for the script in each of the first language and the one or more second languages; determining a duration of the localized audio sample in each of the first language and the one or more second languages; and determining a maximum spoken duration of the script as the maximum of the respective durations of the localized audio sample in each of the first language and the one or more second languages.

Abstract: An input device for use in a processing system, the device comprising one or more input keys operable to sense a user's fingers touching one or more of the input keys without using the input keys to provide a keystroke input to control a processing device associated with the processing system and a communication unit operable to transmit information identifying the input keys that the user is touching to the processing device, wherein the processing device is operable to generate information to indicate to the user which input keys are being touched.
