Abstract
In various embodiments, a caption encoding application performs captioning while streaming live events. The caption encoding application determines a segment index in response to a triggering event associated with a live event. The caption encoding application computes a caption time interval based on the first triggering event and a caption delay. The caption encoding application retrieves from a database a portion of caption data based on the caption time interval and a language. The caption encoding application generates a caption segment based on the portion of the caption data. The caption encoding application causes the caption segment to be inserted into a caption stream at the segment index, where the caption stream is to be transmitted as part of the live event.
