TRANSCRIPT SYNC

Being able to search through huge volumes of unstructured audio and video is extremely valuable for content discovery, but what if you’re dealing with both text-based transcripts and actual audio content? In the post-production industry, editors are faced with the dauting task of taking hundreds of hours of video footage and manually lining it up with associated scripts and transcripted dialogue, a time-intensive and cumbersome process. Using the phonetic approach, Nexidia developed Transcript Sync, a product that enables companies to link up video takes to the appropriate line of dialogue in the script for faster editing and more efficient workflow.

The advanced phonetic speech and pattern recognition technology in Transcript Sync is used to power Avid® ScriptSync™, a next-generation script-based editing technology for Avid editing systems, used by professional digital content creators in the television and feature film industry. ScriptSync advances and simplifies script-based editing by automating the process of synchronizing scripts or transcripts with their equivalent media files. This capability enables editors, directors and producers to save significant time by streamlining review and comparison of clips and takes for the final edit.
