Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for causing to be provided contextual information for a content item. The system identifies that a subject in a content item is currently being referenced and determines whether consumption of the content item could be enhanced based on the referenced subject. For example, the system identifies a king being discussed by characters in a television series and determines the king was referenced three months ago. The system determines, based on the last time the subject was referenced, whether to provide contextual information about the subject. Using the determined three-month lapse in time since the king was last referenced, the system determines that contextual information about the king should be provided. Accordingly, the system causes to be displayed the contextual information within closed captioning after determining contextual information should be provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing subtitles for a media content item. Subtitles are obtained, using control circuitry, for the media content item. Control circuitry determines whether a character component of the subtitles should be replaced by an image component. In response to determining that the character component of the subtitles should be replaced by an image component, control circuitry selects, from memory, an image component corresponding to the character component. Control circuitry replaces the character component of the subtitles by the image component to generate modified subtitles.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining, based on recommendations provided by users that have consumed a media asset, which consumption options may be configured on a media device such that when configured enhance the user viewing experience for a specific media asset. The method includes accessing comments posted by other users that have consumed the media asset. The comments are analyzed to determine a consumption option recommendation. If the number of comments meet a threshold value, then the system either automatically configures the media device or configures the media device upon user approval with the recommended consumption option. The recommendation to configure a consumption option on the media device is made only if the recommendation is supported by the media device. The system also detects through audio and image analysis which users are consuming the media asset and accordingly configures the consumption options to their preferences.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating personalized messages. One example method includes identifying a media item at a first computing device and identifying a group of one or more recipients to send the media item and a personalized message to. An association between a user of the computing device and a recipient from the group is identified. A personalized message is generated based at least in part on the association between the user and the recipient. The media item and personalized message are sent to the recipient from the first computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting recognition errors in speech recognition systems are disclosed herein. Natural conversational variations are identified to determine whether a query intends to correct a speech recognition error or whether the query is a new command. When the query intends to correct a speech recognition error, the system identifies a location of the error and performs the correction. The corrected query can be presented to the user or be acted upon as a command for the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods detecting a spoken sentence in a speech recognition system are disclosed herein. Speech data is buffered based on an audio signal captured at a computing device operating in an active mode. The speech data is buffered irrespective of whether the speech data comprises a signature word. The buffered speech data is processed to detect a presence of the sentence comprising at least one command and a query for the computing device. Processing the buffered speech data includes detecting the signature word in the buffered speech data, and in response to detecting the signature word in the speech data, initiating detection of the sentence in the buffered speech data.
