Subtitle program production methods and subtitle program production system,

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily produce a program with subtitles which is easily read understood by the hard of hearing, e.g. by presenting a presenting unit subtitle sentence of a period in which each of start-point/finishing point timing information matches with presenting timing information. SOLUTION: Unit subtitle sentence are successively extracted from a summary sent from a first summarizing device 13, namely a subtitle sentence text, and the extracted unit subtitle sentence is converted to a presenting extraction unit subtitle sentence in accordance with presenting form instruction. In addition, the time codes of a starting point and a finishing point are given to the converted presenting unit subtitle by calculation with the beginning of sentence time code of the unit subtitle sentence sent from a first synchronizing device 15 as a key, and is stored. On the other hand the presenting time code of a material program reproduced from the material program is collated with a starting-point/finishing-point time code by obtained by indirectly calculating it for each presenting unit subtitle sentence to output the presenting unit subtitle sentence in a time code period matching with a presenting time code in the state of synchronizing with an equivalent announcing voice.
