Koemei Is Out To Transcribe All Video And Make It Searchable

Screen Shot 2012-05-20 at 15.08.20Lord knows there is a lot of online video out there these days, but only a tiny proportion of it has been transcribed (less than 1% according to some estimates). Searching the mountains of video generated by businesses, governments and educational institutions for the valuable information within is almost impossible because the words hidden in the audio are invisible to search. Waiting for it is not just the world, but the many people who can't access that video because of their disabilities. Transcription unlocks the gold-dust buried in them there video hills.This would involve transcription on a vast scale, but this is exactly the problem Koemei aims to tackle. It's a SAAS platform for speech recognition in video. Today at TechCrunch Disrupt it announced it has completed an integration with YouTube's API in preparation for a potential launch. It also announced the successful completion of its first pilot with the University of Geneva and IMD Business School.
