FILENG: An Automatic English Subtitle Generator from Filipino Video Clips using Hidden Markov Model

Abstract

The researchers thought of creating a system to promote the Filipino language, especially Tagalog, through a labeled text or subtitle. The researchers have developed a system, FILENG: An Automatic English Subtitle Generator from Tagalog Video Clips, that can automatically generate an English subtitle from Tagalog video clips. The researchers used sphinx4 as the tool for creating a speech to text extraction. The timeframe is also included in the output. Seventy nine percent accuracy of the system was recorded by the proponents. The study utilized results of Precision, Recall and the F-Measure from the tested gathered data. Enhancement of the system must be considered for further study.
