Google just released a new audio search tool in their Google Labs department. The current demo version searches political speeches for words. Type in a word and it finds them in the videos.
I've been working on the guts of a system to do a semantic audio search similar to this in concept (though vastly different in execution). Type in a word and find the audio/video tracks that have instances of that word. For example, type in "hyena" and it returns all of the audio and/or video files with hyena sounds in them. I'm still working...
P.S., GMail also just released the greatest, most obvious feature ever: forgotten attachment warnings. My future email recipients thank you.
I've added a link (to the left) to go directly to Thumper's multimedia page. He may not be quite a chubby monster any more, but the is indelible.
OK, the last few videos have all been converted to flash now. They should play for everyone without installing super-secret, extra-special codecs. If you don't have flash installed, it should direct you to the Flash page where you can install the software automatically.
