Abstract
Visual content of media programs is recognized using text-based scripts of the media programs. A script of a media program includes sets of words to be spoken by actors during the media program, and also descriptions of points of interest of the media program. A file of subtitles or captions of a media program includes sets of words actually spoken by actors during the media program along with marks or stamps of times when such words were spoken. The sets of words of a script and in subtitles or captions are processed to determine where such words align. The sets of words of the script are then marked or stamped with times from the subtitles. The descriptions may then be processed to predict the visual content from such descriptions, and times at which the visual content appears within the media program are determined from the sets of words.
