VideoSnooper Launches Television Search

VideoSnooper.tv uses artec technologies’ XentauriX technology to search television programmes for spoken keywords within seconds.

Results for entered search terms are shown as short video clips. Users can immediately check when, on which channel, and in what context a searched word appeared on television.

VideoSnooper.tv currently analyses programmes from 22 television channels. The system can be expanded at any time, allowing almost any channel to be searched. The television search engine can also analyse other material, including video clips and IPTV channels, and search it for arbitrary keywords.

artec technologies developed its “Triple Search” method to combine text information, metadata, and speech information. VideoSnooper can search information from subtitles and electronic programme guides, as well as every word spoken in a television programme, with timing accurate to the second.
