    <Paragraph position="0"> We have described a national project in which 'speech' of TV programs is changed into captions, and superimposed to the original programs for the benefit of the hearing impaired people in Japan. We also showed results of preliminary research on TV news text summarization, and synchronization of text and speech. We continue to integrate the natural language processing and speech processing technology for efficient closed caption production system, and put it to a practical use as soon as possible.</Paragraph>
