Claim:
1. A video information display method comprising: downloading, over a communications network and to a memory of a second screen device, a subset of subtitles, the subset of subtitles corresponding to preselected portions of a dialogue of a video; receiving audio information principally from a playing of the video on a primary screen device; generating an acoustic fingerprint responsive to the received audio information; establishing, responsive to the acoustic fingerprint, a synchronization to the playing of the video on the primary screen device; and displaying the subset of subtitles on the second screen device responsive to a time period offset synchronization to the video playing on the primary screen device, the time period offset synchronization being responsive to a user's time period offset preference, whereby the display of the subset of subtitles on the second screen device is intermittent and lags a contemporaneous playing of the video on the primary screen device.
