“Audio Search Engine Helps Reconstruct Holocaust History”
From the article, “Advances in the field of automatic video processing for search and retrieval helped Johns Hopkins University engineers develop this particular audio search engine. Based on speech recognition, the system will be used by the Shoah Foundation to make information in its archives of more than 51,000 video interviews more easily accessible…”We want to build a speech-recognition system that is good enough to recognize most of the words that a historian or educator might enter into the audio search engine,” says Bill Byrne, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins.”
