As Speech Technology reported here a few weeks ago, Google launched a new audio search indexing experiment that allows users to find spoken words inside videos.
Google Audio Indexing (GAUDI) was developed by Google Labs and lets users search for spoken words inside video clips and jump to portions of a video where the searched words are spoken. For now, the GAUDI tool is available only for election videos, but Google plans to expand its use to other videos.
More importantly, GAUDI works well and is pretty fun to use. So, if you want to locate particularly rousing sections of John McCain’s convention speech based on key words or relive Sarah Palin’s sage remarks about lipstick and pit bulls, GAUDI may be the tool for you!
