Techniques implementable by a computer system are provided. The techniques include receiving, by a server device, a request to stream media, the request including a media content and a streaming start point in the media content. The techniques also include determining a first time length based at least in part on time to receive permissioning. The techniques also include determining a silence point in the media content based at least in part on the streaming start point, the first time length, and identified silence points in the media content. The techniques also include determining a second time length based at least in part on the silence point and the streaming start point, the second time length defining a clear portion. The techniques also include generating a media stream comprising the clear portion and a remaining portion, the clear portion having a time length of the second time length.

Dynamic clear lead injection

This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for generating captions for audio content items. For instance, a system may store a user profile that is associated with audio content items. When a user associated with the user profile requests captions, the system may determine which audio content items have available captions and which audio content items do not have available captions. For the audio content items that do not have available captions, the system may determine priorities for the audio content items. The system may then cause the captions to be generated based on the priorities. When the captions are generated, the system may update statuses of the audio content items to indicate that the captions are available. The system may further store the captions in a database that is accessible to the user.

Systems for generating captions for audio content

This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for providing captions with audio content. For instance, an electronic device may receive first data representing audio content and second data representing captions that are available for the audio content. The electronic device may then select portions of the captions for display while outputting the audio content. In some instances, the electronic device selects the portions using timestamps represented by the second data. For instance, the electronic device may select a portion of the captions such that the portion of the captions begins at a first pause within the audio content and/or ends at a second pause within the audio content. In some instances, the electronic device may also display graphical elements that indicate the current location within the captions.
