Dipping into videos with Google’s GAUDI

Manas Ganguly highlighted the way in which Google Audio Indexing (short form GAUDI) is encouraging media democratization. That process was started by YouTube but Google video search can now allow a user to search for a particular reference in a speech.

Google Audio Indexing (Gaudi) is a new technology that allows users to better search and watch videos from various YouTube channels. It uses speech technology to find spoken words inside videos and lets the user jump to the right portion of the video where these words are spoken. Google Audio Indexing thus makes it easier for people to find and consume spoken content from videos on the Web.

The official announcement suggested we would be seeing continuing innovation. For more detailed information on GAUDI, check out the FAQ for this technology.

Google for some time has had Google Elections Video Search gadget which is wholly US centric information. It was very instrumental in pulling together information on the views, actions and platforms of the two presidential candidates. Google Audio and the Google Elections Video Search gadget use the exact same underlying technology.

Google Audio Indexing uses speech technology to transform spoken words into text and leverages the Google indexing technology to return the best results to the user. The returned videos are ranked based — among other things — on the spoken content, the metadata, the freshness. The gadget periodically crawls the YouTube political channels for new content. As soon as a new video is uploaded to YouTube, it is processed by the system and made available in the GAUDI index for people to search.

Google Audio Indexing searches only those videos uploaded on the YouTube political channels at the present time. That is a very limited scope currently, but it will surely not be long before Google extends the use over the whole YouTube Gamut.

    As a general policy, no search engine will crawl into password-protected pages or pages that require a login. There are some exceptions to this, but it typically requires an agreement with the search engine (i.e., some news sites want their pay-for-access news stories crawled).
