Spactor is a media search engine that scans television, radio, Internet TV and podcasts to display results showing how often and when a particular term was used in a program.
Based in Germany, Spactor is built on MediaClipping’s technology that is used by businesses for PR and other purposes, giving stats on the use of certain terminology and names are used in media. Now the search functionality of MediaClipping is being offered as an engine for you to use. Type in your query and you’ll see video and audio results where your term has been used. Results can be emailed to a friend, and you can go to the original source link or play the media directly. It would be convenient if these results could also be bookmarked directly.
As video and audio search becomes increasingly necessary for online media sharing, this type of technology will become more commonplace and used for purposes outside of B2B necessities. Spactor is currently available for 75 German-speaking radio and television shows, and the company has plans for International expansion. Plugged and Vlingo are other companies that are utilizing speech recognition for search and other personal uses.
