Qumu Partners with Nexidia on Speech Search

February 24, 2012

The ability to search for spoken words in media files is getting a boost, as revealed in Business Wire’s “Qumu Integrates Nexidia Dialogue Search Into Video Control Center.” Qumu sees speech as the most underutilized (though most useful) search perimeter and aims to change that with their software. Their Video Control Center allows for the capture, management, and distribution of video content. The write up reveals what Nexidia brings to the table:

Nexidia’s patented Dialogue Search now gives employees a richer, more precise way to find and view valuable content by pinpointing where any word or phrase is spoken in their company’s webcasts, training videos and employee-generated content. Nexidia’s patented technology searches across an organization’s different media silos and geographies simultaneously, and supports multiple languages.

So, in this way, voice-to-text becomes an add-in. Companies who have long been in this space like Autonomy and Exalead may find that upstarts will snag some juicy accounts.

Qumu bills itself as the leader in the young video platform market, having won some of the largest Global 1000 companies as clients. Nexidia has spent years developing its phonetic search technologies, opening up audio and video sources to search functionality.
