Patent 10331796 was granted and assigned to Facebook on June, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An improved lecture support system integrates multi-media presentation materials with spoken content so that the listener can follow with both the speech and the supporting materials that accompany the presentation to provide additional understanding. Computer-based systems and methods are disclosed for translation of a spoken presentation (e.g., a lecture, a video) along with the accompanying presentation materials. The content of the presentation materials can be used to improve presentation translation, as it extracts supportive material from the presentation materials as they relate to the speech.
