  • Publication number: 20230055924
    Abstract: The present invention provides a caption service system for remote speech recognition, which provides caption service for the hearing impaired. This system includes a speaker and a live broadcast equipment at A, a listener-typist and a computer at B, a hearing impaired and a live screen at C, and an automatic speech recognition (ASR) caption server at D. Connect the live broadcast equipment, the computer, the live screen and the ASR caption server with a network. The speaker's audio is sent to the automatic speech recognition (ASR) caption server to be converted into text, which is corrected by the listener-typist, and then the text caption is sent to the live screen of the hearing impaired together with the speaker's video and audio, so that the hearing impaired can see the text caption spoken by the speaker.
