Nexidia Is Pioneering Video Search Through Phonetics

In this second clip, Anna tells us how phonetics are used by consumers to find video clips. For most of the online video universe, clips are searchable only through metadata or the text that describes a video clip. That's OK, but it's just part of the solution. Since video images aren't searchable yet, voice recognition and phonetic analysis software are the most practical way to find the content of the video. Of course not all videos have words to index, but it's a critical direction. Nexidia is making important moves in this space. Other companies in this field include Podzinger and Blinkx.
