Claim 15:
16. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying a script for a media program, wherein the script comprises:
a first plurality of sets of words, wherein each of the first plurality of sets of words describes a portion of the media program; and
a second plurality of sets of words, wherein each of the second plurality of sets of words is intended to be spoken by at least one actor during the media program;

determining that a first set of words of the first plurality of sets of words describes predetermined content;
in response to determining that the first set of words describes the predetermined content,
identifying a set of data regarding the media program, wherein the set of data comprises:
a third plurality of sets of words, wherein each of the third plurality of sets of words was spoken by at least one actor during the media program; and
a plurality of times, wherein each of the plurality of times is a time during the media program associated with one of the third plurality of sets of words;

providing at least some of the second plurality of sets of words and at least some of the third plurality of sets of words as inputs to an alignment algorithm;
identifying a second set of words of the second plurality of sets of words that aligns with a third set of words of the third plurality of sets of words based at least in part on at least one output from the alignment algorithm;
determining a first time during the media program associated with the third set of words, wherein the first time is one of the plurality of times;
associating the first time with the second set of words;
determining a second time during the media program associated with the first set of words based at least in part on the first time; and
storing an indication that a portion of the media program associated with the second time includes the predetermined content in at least one data store.
