Introduction

With the increasing demand for optimal content accessibility and reachability to its targeted users, enterprise video content management solutions prioritize the ease with which users can interact with and reach their content. Primarily, this demand is led by organizations willing to publicize or monetize their content. Enterprises are constantly in search of a solution that optimizes search and discovery. A robust media search engine enables users to have a seamless viewer experience with the ability to search within videos for spoken words or activities, and enjoy the most relevant results and media recommendations.


Concept

VIDIZMO provides you auto-transcription facility for the video content in your EVCM solution. Transcription refers to the conversion of speech-to-text within a video, following which users can search or retrieve their content based on the speech within it, optimizing users' search experience. This is achieved by processing the audio or spoken word content within your videos and associating it with the digital asset as metadata. This additional information is then indexed against the assets in the database and made searchable through out the site for users to be able to find it with greater ease.
