Youtube’s popularity was revolutionary. Since then, the site has failed to bring papa Google any happiness and has pretty much dropped the ball in terms of innovation. Youtube recently purchased Omnisio to try to spice things up, but the latest news regarding Youtube’s speech-to-text technology is what I find most promising interesting. Youtube is now capable of “listening” to the audio of a clip and transcribing it into rich metadata whcih can be embedded in the video and can be searchable by users. Pretty cool stuff, and you should try it.
