Real-time modifiable text captioning

Abstract

An approach to modifying text captioning is provided, comprising receiving, by a captioning modifier program, input data associated with a video stream, analyzing, by the captioning modifier program, the input data, altering, by the captioning modifier program, text captioning associated with the video stream to indicate eventful aspects based on an analysis of the input data and generating, by the captioning modifier program, supplementary information associated with the video stream based on the analysis and providing the supplementary information as an addition to the text captioning.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for modifying text captioning, the method comprising:
 receiving, by one or more computer processors, input data associated with a video stream, wherein the input data is audio and visual information associated with the video stream, sent from a video streaming application;   analyzing, by one or more computer processors, the input data, wherein analyzing includes analyzing the input data for modifying a text captioning associated with the video stream to improve viewer comprehension of the video stream;   altering, by one or more computer processors, text captioning associated with the video stream to indicate eventful aspects based on the analysis of the input data, wherein altering the text captioning to indicate eventful aspects comprises altering stylistic characteristics corresponding to portions of the text captioning associated with the eventful aspects;   generating, by one or more computer processors, supplementary information associated with the video stream based on the analysis and providing the supplementary information as an addition to the text captioning associated with the video stream wherein the supplementary information is a color of an object in a scene of the video stream determined based on the analysis; and   repositioning, by one or more computer processors, the text captioning associated with the video stream from a first location to a second location within the video stream, wherein the repositioning is performed to minimize an extent to which the text captioning is blocking one or more key visual aspects of the video stream, and wherein altering the text captioning, generating supplementary information and repositioning the text captioning are based, at least in part, on user-configured preferences.
