Ask HN: Any tools to search video based on audio?
Hello,
I am wondering if there is any tool (good to have opensource) which lets you search an audio+video file based on the audio. Basically enter a search string containing text and the result is the video player showing the video frame containing the audio in which this text exist

- kingkool68 4y agoThere's https://filmot.com/ https://filmot.com/ which searches/indexes on YouTube captions and will take you right to the point in the video that matches your search.
- muxneo 4y agothanks. I am looking for my own videos and particulary not youtube. The idea is to host my own videos on my site to be able to search them. Therefore looking for an opensource solution
- codingdave 4y agoIf it is just for your own videos, you don't need a video search solution - you need a transcription process or service. Then you would have timestamped words/phrases, which you could put into a database and just query/search that DB.

- 0des 4y agoThank you for sharing videogrep, I'm adding it to my toolbox. Suddenly I'm able to see and reply to this comment - so despite Dang telling me that telling you this isn't allowed, you might want to check what's up with your account. Just about everything you say is greyed out as soon as you say it, despite everything I saw in your history being normal, and it seems to go back a while. Just letting you know before you waste more time on otherwise insightful comments that get seen by only those of us who elect to seeing it.
- PainfullyNormal 4y agoThanks for letting me know! I reached out to Dang. He said I got trapped in a spam filter and he fixed it. If you're listening, Dang, thanks for responding and handling everything so quickly!

- 0des 4y agoIf I didn't have showdead, I'd have no idea about videogrep or PainfullyNormal's comment (which I cannot vouch for to comment in thanks, or upvote, its just [dead]) Admins - Get rid of whatever behavior gets random people on blocklists, or at least make it finite in duration. I was told by Dan to stop mentioning this when I see it (which is unethical in my opinion), but its just sad how often it happens now. Even an asshole is right sometimes (not saying this guys an asshole).

- mrkramer 4y agoI had an idea to create commercial service for this; but I'm afraid it would cost me too much to transcribe videos. Short videos are not costly to transcribe but hours long videos are. At the end of the day I might do it because Moore's law is our friend and it should get cheaper and cheaper over the years.
