Podzinger offers to do for podcasting what Technorati does for blogs by letting users search podcasts by keyword to single out audio that suits their interests.
PODZINGER unleashes the content within audio. To find the podcast you want, don? just search for it ... ZING IT!
When you type in a word or terms, PODZINGER not only finds the relevant podcasts, but also highlights the segment of the audio in which they occurred. By clicking anywhere on the results, the audio will begin to play just where you clicked. There are also controls that let you back up, pause, or forward through the podcast. Or you can download the entire podcast.
PODZINGER, powered by 30 years of speech recognition research from BBN Technologies, Cambridge, Massachusetts, transforms the audio into words, unlocking the information inside podcasts. Using PODZINGER you open up a previously untapped source of content via a simple web search. So when it comes to podcasts, instead of searching for it ... just ZING IT!
