Abstract

This paper presents improvements to an automatic dubbing system in which text-to-speech technology is used to synthesise speech from subtitles. Spring-based subtitle timing optimisation was proposed to reduce the need for speeding up synthetic speech to fit it into corresponding subtitle slots. Video cut detection algorithm was also introduced, and the cuts were then used to prevent stretching subtitles across the cuts. Results show that after the optimisation smaller speeding-up factors are applied on synthetic speech while keeping optimised subtitle start and end times close to original positions.
