Tiny New Zealand Company Brings Cool Microsoft Video Tech To The World

New Zealand is known for its beautiful countryside and all the popular movies filmed there, sheep, and Dot Com. Business Insider reports there is another item to add to the island nation’s “list of reasons to be famous,” “Tiny New Zealand Company Brings Cool Microsoft Video Tech to the World.” The small startup GreenButton used search technology from Microsoft Research and created InCus, a service that transcribes audio and video files to make them searchable. It is aimed at corporation enterprises to make their digital media libraries searchable.
Where there is searching, there are subjects.
Take that as a given.
The startup: GreenButton.
Apparently speech transcription. No motion detection/analysis for indexing. That would be a lot tougher.
Interesting opportunity for an “add-on” to this service to use topic map to map to other resources.
One service invents the potential for another.
