Fast-Talk Communications out of Atlanta has a system that can automatically scan audio files for specific words [Technology Review]. In the past, this would have required that the audio be first transcribed into text. Fast-Talk's technology, on the other hand, is able to search the audio directly be converting the audio track into phonemes, the discrete units of sound that all languages are composed of. I wonder when we can expect Google to buy this company and include audio search into their engine. 11:32:47 AM  permalink  comment []
