Podscope: Keyword Search of Podcasts

podscope

An amazing development in the evolution of podcasting—or, at least podcast-hunting—has been launched in beta by a company called TVEyes. TVEyes uses proprietary technology (that probably involves voice-tio-text recognition, but I really have no idea) to instantly index audio content, making it searchable by keyword. TVEyes uses its systems to index television content, and license access to the index. Only recently has the company turned its attention to podcasts, and the result is Podscope, the first and only keywork search engine for podcasts. Type in the name of a favorite indie artist, and get back a quick list of podcasts that mention the name. This is not a music search engine; it is a language engine. Results might not have the music you're hoping for, but there's a good chance that with indie artists you will find some music. Search results include 10-second audio clips that play directly from the Web page and include the keywords your searched for. It's amazing, and it's fast. Try it.
