Future similar technologies will be built into the devices you record video with enabling the import and deep tagging of video segments by specifying keywords from the timeline. That will make editing your 11 hours of vacation video all that much easier, eh?

Apparently, speech recognition technology developed by Google Research is now used to transcribe every video in the politicians channel. So when you search for “Iraq,” you can see every video where Iraq is mentioned by John McCain, by Barack Obama or by any politician. Now, many of these speeches get transcribed anyway, either in part or in their entirety — it’s not like people had a hard time Googling McCain’s statements on Iraq before. But this makes even more political content available for searching, and it also helps you find the relevant portions of these videos. Every mention of your search term is highlighted as a yellow line in the video timeline, and when you mouse over the line you get a short snippet of the transcript.
