Abstract:
1. A method for handling transcribed audio data, the method comprises: receiving audio data from one or more broadcast sources; transcribing the audio data to generate one or more data feeds of caption data, wherein the audio data are associated with one or more live events transcribed into the caption data, removing the control codes from the one or more data feeds of caption data to generate one or more data feeds of transcribed audio data, communicating, via a server, with one or more mobile devices that are configured to receive the text data based on at least one user subscription; receiving a request, via the server, from a user of least one mobile device, the request comprising a user selection of text data from at least one of the data feeds of transcribed audio data; and transmitting the selected transcribed audio data to an encoder for generating caption data for display on a caption target, wherein the encoder is configured for encoding the transcribed audio data into a format compatible with Electronic Industry Association 608 and 708 standards for broadcast television, wherein the caption target is configured for decoding and displaying the caption data in compliance with the Electronic Industry Association 608 and 708 standards for broadcast television; wherein transmitting the transcribed audio data to the encoder occurs simultaneously with transmitting the text data to the at least one mobile device, wherein the text data is transmitted to the at least one mobile device without information for formatting a display of the text data on the at least one mobile device, and wherein the text data is transferred in real time to the at least one mobile device without storing the text data and the transcribed audio data is transferred in real time to the encoder without storing the transcribed audio data.
