Real-time script for live broadcast
In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving, from one or more data stores, a script including multiple text strings, where the script is associated with a user of a social-networking system. The method also includes capturing an incoming media stream including audio data corresponding to vocal expression by the user, where the media stream is transmitted to the social-networking system for broadcast and identifying, using a speech recognition process, one or more words in the vocal expression corresponding to a text string of the script. The method also includes providing the corresponding text string for display in conjunction with a subsequent text string of the script.
1. A method comprising, by a client system associated with a user:
retrieving, from one or more data stores, a script comprising a plurality of text strings, wherein the script is associated with the user;
capturing an incoming media stream comprising audio data corresponding to vocal expression by the user, wherein the media stream is transmitted for broadcast;
identifying, using a speech recognition process, one or more words in the vocal expression corresponding to a text string of the script; and
providing for display the corresponding text string, a subsequent text string of the script, and a reaction field, wherein the reaction field displays reaction information associated with one or more users viewing the media stream.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, at the client system, a script; and
storing the script in the one or more data stores.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the script was generated based on at least one captured audio stream.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding text string and the subsequent text string of the script are provided for display in a scrolling format.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
calculating, based on the retrieved script and the captured incoming media stream, an estimated length of time for the user to finish the script; and
providing for display a representation of the calculated length of time.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending the script for display in a web interface associated with the user.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subsequent text string of the script is provided in conjunction with instructions to emphasize the subsequent text string.
8. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
retrieve, from one or more data stores, a script comprising a plurality of text strings, wherein the script is associated with a user;
capture an incoming media stream comprising audio data corresponding to vocal expression by the user, wherein the media stream is transmitted for broadcast;
identify, using a speech recognition process, one or more words in the vocal expression corresponding to a text string of the script; and
provide for display the corresponding text string, a subsequent text string of the script, and a reaction field, wherein the reaction field displays reaction information associated with one or more users viewing the media stream.
9. The media of claim 8 , wherein the software is further operable when executed to:
receive, at the client system, a script; and
store the script in the one or more data stores.
10. The media of claim 9 , wherein the script was generated based on at least one captured audio stream.
11. The media of claim 8 , wherein the corresponding text string and the subsequent text string of the script are provided for display in a scrolling format.
12. The media of claim 8 , wherein the software is further operable when executed to:
calculate, based on the retrieved script and the captured incoming media stream, an estimated length of time for the user to finish the script; and
provide for display a representation of the calculated length of time.
13. The media of claim 8 , wherein the software is further operable when executed to send the script for display in a web interface associated with the user.
14. A system comprising: one or more processors; and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
retrieve, from one or more data stores, a script comprising a plurality of text strings, wherein the script is associated with a user;
capture an incoming media stream comprising audio data corresponding to vocal expression by the user, wherein the media stream is transmitted for broadcast;
identify, using a speech recognition process, one or more words in the vocal expression corresponding to a text string of the script;
provide for display the corresponding text string, a subsequent text string of the script, and a reaction field, wherein the reaction field displays reaction information associated with one or more users viewing the media stream.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the processors are further operable when executing the instructions to:
receive, at the client system, a script; and
store the script in the one or more data stores.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the script was generated based on at least one captured audio stream.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the corresponding text string and the subsequent text string of the script are provided for display in a scrolling format.
18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the processors are further operable when executing the instructions to:
calculate, based on the retrieved script and the captured incoming media stream, an estimated length of time for the user to finish the script; and
provide for display a representation of the calculated length of time.
