Google Comes Up With Audio Indexing
A couple of months after Google got out the Google Elections Video Search gadget on iGoogle, make way for GAudi (or Google Audio Indexing for the rest of us).
Designed to work with videos on YouTube, the speech to text service attempts to catalogue all the words spoken in an audio or video clip, and puts them in a searchable format, so that a user can then search for any word or phrase within a clip. The service also allows the user to jump to the point in the clip where the searched term is mentioned.
Currently, the service would be indexing audio and video only from political sources however. More on their blog.
I wonder how well the service would work when pitted against all the various accents.
