An audio description system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores source media comprising frames positioned within the source media according to a time index. The processor is configured to generate, using an image-to-text model, a textual description of each frame; identify intervals within the time index, each interval encompassing one or more positions of one or more frames; identify placement periods within the time index, each placement period being temporally proximal to an interval; generate a summary description based on at least one textual description of at least one frame positioned within a selected interval temporally proximal to a placement period; and associate the summary description with the placement period.

Automated audio description system and method

A computer system configured to generate captions is provided. The computer system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to access a first buffer configured to store text generated by an automated speech recognition (ASR) process; access a second buffer configured to store text generated by a captioning client process; identify either the first buffer or the second buffer as a source buffer of caption text; generate caption text from the source buffer; and communicate the caption text to a target process.
