Redlasso Gets Ready to Join Multimedia Search Race; PBS Offers Searchable Video (Free)

Over the years we’ve used and mentioned several databases that allow the searcher to keyword search words spoken on broadcast and cable tv and then allows viewing of the video where those words are spoken on their computer in near real-time. Alerts are also available. Players in this space include:

+ TVEyes
Note: TVEyes offers a very basic service for web video at no charge and also powers Podscope.
+ Critical Mention
+ FedNet
+ ShadowTV

Now, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal (in an abbreviated article), Redlasso will join this race in the next month.

More Soon.
