PodZinger Speech Recognition-based Search for Podcasts
I pulled this from Podcasting
News. Rather cool way to implement search with audio and
text. Yeah, I submitted all my podcast productions' RSS feeds. I'm
curious, though, how PodZinger compares to Podscope.com, which has been around
longer. Seems PodZinger is getting more attention. Their user interface is a
bit nicer, at first glance. Searching for text in audio
files appears to be making a lot of progress. It's all still amazing to
me.
Very cool.

PodZinger Intros Speech Recognition Based Podcast Search
PodZinger has officially launched its podcast search engine, which uses speech-to-text conversion to help index podcasts.
According to PodZinger, the service has two unique features: it displays the text surrounding the search term, so users can skim results the same way they skim text search results to assess relevance quickly; and it allows users to listen to the most relevant sections of their search results by simply clicking on any word in the search result and beginning audio playback from there.
