Garry Forger posted to the LTC webboard about GAUDI, Google Audio Indexing. Google describes GAUDI as "a new technology from Google 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." Follow the above link to read more on the FAQ page.
At this polnt, Google hopes to make GAUDI "available to a wide audience, we hope to both offer a useful service and learn what our users think of this new technology." When you go to GAUDI you see that it searching on political content. For the example below, I have a screenshot showing a search that I made on Delaware. I selected one of the entries from the column on the left, "Joe Biden speaks to National Guard" which displays the video to the right. What GAUDI does next is highlight a clip where the word appears. Also, in the play bar are yellow markers that note where in the audio the word appears, or should say is heard.
