Abstract

Descriptive video service (DVS) is the main method of making programs accessible to those with seeing disabilities, but only a few of conventional broadcasting programs have been reproduced in the form of DVS contents because of practical limitations. It takes much of the time and professional manpower to produce the DVS contents so it is quite costly. In this paper, we propose semi-automatic DVS authoring method. Non-dialog sections detected through audio/subtitles analysis are recommended and then the author is able to insert appropriate audio description (AD) scripts and to produce their synthesized AD using TTS easily. Currently we have completed a basic study and developed the trial version of the proposed.
