Producing comprehensible subtitles and captions for an effective group viewing experience
One or more processors identify one or more users expected to consume media content having associated subtitle data. A user profile associated with each of the one or more users is received, and one or more features are extracted from each user profile. The one or more features are representative of a characteristic of the user. A group profile is created for the one or more users based upon the extracted features. The subtitle data associated with the media content is received, and one or more portions of the subtitle data are modified based upon the group profile to generate augmented subtitle data. The augmented subtitle data is sent to a display device for being rendered in the display device.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a source of the media content.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of the one or more users includes receiving a list of the one or more users.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the subtitle data associated with the media content is responsive to requesting the subtitled data.
