NSC will launch in 2008 a Multimedia Search Engine using speech recognition technology to identify spoken words and phrases in Web-based multimedia files.
 
Due to the ongoing expansion of today’s multimedia environment, there is a growing need for search engines that provide advanced search capabilities for media files. NSC’s solution provides a powerful multimedia search engine that enables Internet users to locate, preview, and gauge the relevance of media files. Smart preview functionality reduces the time needed to browse through media files and sort results, and enables fast identification of the relevant content.  
 
"The ability to look for relevant content within online media files not only provides clear benefits for Internet users, but also helps content providers to increase traffic to their Web sites and increase the visibility of their content by making it searchable from an external source," said Ami Moyal, CEO of NSC.

The solution also will enable access to specific points within multimedia content as well as the indexing of new material, enabling users to search and access new content immediately after its release
 
During the current pre-launch period, NSC is calling on content providers and aggregators to partner with the company on this new initiative, and to make their content searchable and available via the new search engine.
