Abstract: A system and method of delivering an information output to a viewer of a live performance. The information output can be displayed text or an audio description at predefined times in the live performance relative to stage events. A follower script with entries organised along a timeline, and metadata at time points between at least some of the entries is generated. The metadata is associated with stage events in the live performance. The system uses speech recognition to track spoken dialogue against the entries in the follower script, and the stage events, to aid in following the live performance.
Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing audio from a program source with closed captioning data includes a caption encoder having a video-audio delay line. The caption encoder with the delay line is adapted to delay the programming source by a settable amount of time so that the program audio can be synchronized with closed caption data received from a remote live captioner.
Abstract: An improved process for recreating a webpage as presented to the visitor is provided. A skeleton of a webpage, including content and images of the webpage, may be captured for each web event. For each web event, the captured skeleton of the webpage, including the content and the image of the captured webpage, may be transmitted to a server, allowing the server to recreate a webpage that was presented to the visitor.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamic character enhancement for rendering digital content. Example methods may include identifying a reading speed indicative of a rate at which a user desires to read, determining a number of words in a portion of content to present to the user, and determining a base time interval for at least one word of the portion of content based at least in part on the reading speed. Methods may include determining an average difficulty value of the portion of content, determining that a first difficulty value of a first word exceeds the average difficulty value, and determining a first time adjustment for the first word based at least in part on the first difficulty value. Methods may include determining a first time interval based at least in part on the base time interval and the first time adjustment.
