Abstract
Adjustments to the closed caption component of video content may be implemented by identifying text elements within the closed caption text component of a video stream and to properly adjust the appearance of the text elements. Embodiments described herein provide a method for detecting and correcting text elements that have spacing conflicts as a result of a size or other appearance adjustment. If the correction of a conflict results in a new conflict, such conflicts may be detected and one or more text elements grouped to form a new text element that may then be adjusted.
