You may get fed up using words for your internet searches, you may or may not but Google is as it has announced a new audio search service named “Gaudi”.
The new service has been trialed for two months on iGoogle and now its running for video provided to YouTube’s political channel.
Gaudi would use video content on the web straight from Google Labs and apply speech recognition when you mutter your search term.
Let’s if you type Google, it will bring forward all videos where ever Google is mentioned in the political circuit.
Though the service is at initial stages, the trial definitely shows promising results. It works with video search and throws videos of search term at those sites where the word isn’t in use and there it marked clearly.
On its official blog Google informs about the Gaudi, “At this dedicated site, you would find more features like ‘sharing’ and ‘search within video’ and a robust user interface as well.” The thing that it has not mentioned is perhaps the best feature of the Gaudi and it is to go automatically to the point where the search term is not used.
Currently, this technology is only available for political speeches, but the company is quite hopeful to present it for all videos in the near future.

October 01st, 2008Another good search service from google.I had been looking for such a audio search service but all that I tied had some kind of lapses such as they search only by file name but this from google is very useful since it can search right into audio.
