Google launches audio indexing
Posted by Lauren Drablier on September 18, 2008 at 8:43 AM
Google announced Wednesday that is has launched a new audio indexing service, the GAudi.
The service, designed to work with YouTube, will catalog all words used in audio and video clips. The words will then be added to a searchable database that can be accessed the same way text-base sites are.
In addition, the user will have the option of either watching the entire video, or starting from the exact point where the key word is mentioned.
According to Google, GAudi is only in beta, so at this point it will only index audio and video from political sources.
