I have some additional text search tool for MacOS. It was slightly better than Spotlight but I used it so rarely that I forgot it’s name. The thing that I miss most often in MacOS is - “which movie file has that scene that I remember so clearly”. Isn’t it time already to do something like that? That would be a noticeable breakthrough indeed. No?
- Gys 4y agoInteresting. But more something for a website like IMDB I guess?
- mahathu 4y agoI'm not aware if it exists in software form yet, but presently your use case can be solved by having a mutually advantageous social transaction with a /r/tipofmytongue user who is happy to help by recalling the title of the movie (or similar) you're thinking of.
- MikePlacid 4y agoThank you for the suggestion. Not all my video files are publicly available movies, though. And sometimes I know the movie, but am struggling to find the exact time the episode takes place. But TIL that some software already exists - right on the iPhone’s Camera app: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-voiceover-for-images-and-videos-iph37e6b3844/ios https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-voiceover-for-ima...
