Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to dubbing technology, and more particularly to automatic dubbing material technology. Background Technology

[0002] As an innovative foreign language learning method, software and websites like FunDubbing provide learners with special video clips. These clips are typically taken from classic foreign language films or TV series, and the audio and background have been pre-separated. Chinese and foreign language subtitles are also provided. Learners can dub these clips themselves and learn from the content through this method. Compared to the passive, listening-based traditional foreign language learning method, this active and immersive approach effectively increases learner engagement and allows them to more effectively master the foreign language material contained in the dubbed content.

[0003] However, preparing such teaching dubbing materials requires professionals proficient in foreign languages ​​and video processing technologies, consuming a significant amount of time for video editing, original audio separation, and foreign language subtitle generation, resulting in high costs, long processing times, and difficulty in large-scale production. Furthermore, for primary and secondary school students, how to automatically generate dubbing materials from English movies that match the knowledge points in primary and secondary school English teaching is also a technology that urgently needs to be developed by technicians in this field.
