An apparatus, method and computer program product for generating a hypermedia document from a transcript of a closed-captioned television program using parallel text alignment. The method includes the steps of receiving the closed-captioned text stream with its associated frame counts and the transcript, aligning the text of closed-captioned text stream and the transcript; transferring the frame counts from the closed-captioned text stream to the transcript; extracting video frames from the television program; and linking the frames to the frame-referenced transcript using the frame counts to produce the hypermedia document. The present invention produces other types of hypermedia products as well.
