Blue herd: automated captioning for videoconferences

Published:22 October 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

Blue Herd is a project in IBM Research to investigate automated captioning for videoconferences. Today videoconferences are held among meeting participants connected with a variety of devices: personal computers, mobile devices, and multi-participant meeting rooms. Blue Herd is charged with studying automated real-time captioning in that context. This poster explains the system that was developed for personal computers and describes our experiments to include mobile devices and multi-participant meeting rooms.
