Systems and methods for identifying a set of characters in a media file
The illustrative embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for notifying a user when a set of characters are identified in a media file. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a set of characters inputted by the user of a computing device, playing the media file, transcribing the media file to form a transcription, and determining whether the transcription of the media file includes the set of characters. The method also includes initiating a notification prompt on a graphical user interface of the computing device in response to determining that the media file includes the set of characters.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a set of characters for identification from a user of a computing device;
playing, by the computing device, a media file including audio;
generating, by the computing device, a transcription of the media file;
identifying, by the computing device, a portion of the transcription that includes the set of characters;
identifying, by the computing device, and while the media file is playing, a segment of the media file corresponding to the portion of the transcription;
displaying, by the computing device, a notification prompt, including a button, on a graphical user interface of the computing device in response to the identifying that the portion of the transcription includes the set of characters;
and
accessing, by the computing device, only the identified segment of the media file in response to a selection of the button by the user to be played by the computing device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the button is a play button.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, by the computing device, a sub-segment in which the set of characters occurs, wherein the sub-segment is marked by a beginning time point and an ending time point within a segment.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of characters form one or more words.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving a set of characters for identification from a user of a computing device further comprises:
displaying an entry prompt on the graphical user interface, and
receiving, by the entry prompt, the set of characters.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the transcription further comprises:
transcribing the media file using a speech-to-text application.
7. A computing device, comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor to execute the instructions to configure the processor to:
receive a set of characters for identification from a user of a computing device
play a media file including audio,
generate a transcription of the media file,
identify a portion of the transcription that includes the set of characters,
identify, while the media file is playing, a segment of the media file corresponding to the portion of the transcription,
cause a graphical user interface of the computing device to display a notification prompt, including a button, in response to the identifying that the portion of the transcription includes the set of characters, and
access only the identified segment of the media file in response to a selection of the button by the user to be played by the computing device.
8. The computing device system of claim 7 , wherein the selection of the button causes the processor play the identified segment of the media file.
9. The computing device of claim 7 , wherein, when the processor is to generate the transcription, the processor further is to:
transcribe the media file while the computer device player plays the media file.
10. The computing device of claim 7 , wherein the processor further is to:
generate at least one of an audio or visual alert to notify the user of the identified segment.
11. The computing device of claim 7 , wherein, when the processor is to receive a set of characters, the processor further is to:
display-an entry prompt on the graphical user interface, and
receive, by the entry prompt, the set of characters.
12. The computing device of claim 7 , wherein the processor further is configured to:
identify a sub-segment in which the set of characters occurs wherein a beginning time point and an ending time point are identified by the identification module from the transcription, and wherein the sub-segment is marked by the beginning time point and the ending time point within the segment.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed be a processor of a computer device cause the processor to:
receive a set of characters for identification from a user of a computing device;
play a media file including audio;
generate a transcription of the media file;
identify a portion of the transcription that includes the set of characters;
identify, while the media file is playing, a segment of the media file corresponding to the portion of the transcription;
cause a graphical user interface of the computing device to display a notification prompt, including a button, in response to the identifying that the portion of the transcription includes the set of characters; and
access only the identified segment of the media file in response to a selection of the button by the user to be played by the computing device.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
display a beginning time point and an ending time point of the identified segment on the notification prompt.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
identify the beginning time point as a first time period before an occurrence of the set of characters in the media file; and
identify the ending time point as a second time period after the occurrence of the set of characters in the media file.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium computing device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
identify a sub-segment in which the set of characters occurs, wherein the sub-segment is marked by a beginning time point and an ending time point within a segment.
