You've got it. Deep neural networks are currently the best performers when doing automatic speech recognition.

You should be able to hit enter in the search field on your phone's soft keyboard (or the button might just say search). Which phone/operating system is this?

The first thing that comes to mind is podcasts. That are a slightly different direction, but a great fit for our service. They're long, have well spoken words, and are regularly released, so there is a mound of searchable audio data ou

Not yet but this is a pet project that I would love to get going (time strapped now, though). I used the Lexika API to get the times from query results (i.e. when the words were said), then used some hacked together python along with ffmpeg

Thanks for the transcription feedback. You can look at this as a problem but we think it's a cute demonstration of our search ability. We didn't really set out to make transcriptions perfect (that's very, very hard), we wante

Yeah for sure! This site is basically a demo/test for our backend. We built an API that processes audio and forms an index for that file. The API search function then goes into that index to look for queries. It doesn't just look

Yeah, good point. We knew about this but the accuracy wasn't all that great. Our algorithm is fuzzy and can find results even if they are transcribed incorrectly (even today, every speech transcription technology out there still makes

Ah, that would be really nice to do. Our speech transcription only does English at the time but we definitely have our eye on other languages.

We do two things simultaneously. If there is no closed caption, then the video is submitted to our API to be processed (which takes longer on longer videos - a link shows up on the page to let you know the future URL). If there is a CC, the

You are right that you need to input the particular video for now, but we are expanding to include multi-video search (constantly indexing in the background). Right now the use case is particularly nice for finding phrases in long videos (l

This is really interesting. One my biggest problems is extracting cash out of stuff that I am too busy to sell. Printing a label and packing is a bit of a hassle still though. Make that easy and I'll make it rain.

Really nice and the speed is impressive. A useful feature for me would be a subtle drop down of close matches/other possibilities.
