Abstract

This paper presents a web-based platform that enables the customization and synchronization of subtitles on both single- and multi-screen scenarios. The platform enables the dynamic customization of the subtitles' format (font family, size, color...) and position according to the users' preferences and/or needs. Likewise, it allows configuring the number of subtitles lines to be presented, being able to restore the video playout position by clicking on a specific one. It also allows the simultaneous selection of various subtitle languages, and applying a delay offset to the presentation of subtitles. All these functionalities can also be available on (personal) companion devices, allowing the presentation of subtitles in a synchronized manner with the ones on the main screen and their individual customization. With all these functionalities, the platform enables personalized and immersive media consumption experiences, contributing to a better language learning, social integration and an improved Quality of Experience (QoE) in both domestic and multi-culture environments.
