I'm convinced that closed captions (CC) in text files are far superior to CC on the video screen. In a related thread, I described how to capture TV closed captions using an Arguino microprocessor: Arduino CC
During that project, I discovered what is probably a better alternative. It requires a bit of hardware and a bit of software. 1. You need a TV video capture board or USB device to get the TV signal into your computer. I use a very tiny Diamond Multimedia USB receiver. Diamond 2. You need a PC with Windows Media Center to record the video to a .wtv file. It comes with Windows 7 and other Windows systems. 3. You need a video editor/converter to convert the .wtv file to a .ts file. I use VideoRedo It is a commercial product. It has a free trial version to try it. 4. You need CCExtractor to extract the CCs from the .ts file and save them in a plain text file. It is free. CCExtractor That's it. This process works extremely well with English and French TV, and should work well with Latin-accented letters. It is flawlessly with French accents. This does a better job with French than the Arduino solution and uses easy, off-the-shelf products. So you can capture your CCs to text files, use an electronic dictionary on any unknown words, and then read along with the audio/video. 1 person has voted this message useful |
