Abstract
While watching a movie, a user speaks lines of dialogue. The system records the speech, compares with the dialogue in the movie, and reports a score to the user. The system can share scores through an online service to create a community experience. In particular, the systems and methods disclosed implement a technique for matching user input to media content. A computer system receives audio input from a user (speech) and compares the received speech to dialogue in a movie or television program. For example, the computer system may convert the received speech to text and may compare the converted text against dialogue text using closed captioning or subtitle data. Alternatively, waveform data may be compared. The computer system generates a score for the speech based on how closely the speech matches the dialogue, and reports the score to the user through a user interface.
