The ‘videoquote’ function has been made available initially for genres such as politics, talk shows, news, reportage and documentaries, but there are also plans to use it for entertainment programs. By clicking on the link the recipient directly accesses the desired passage in the video clip. to Twitter or Facebook or sent as an email. Any part of the text can then be highlighted and posted as a link e.g. At the click of a button the section of video being watched is displayed in text form at the bottom of the screen. This is how it works: The user sees a piece of footage that they would like to quote, perhaps a statement by a politician. What‘s more, visitors to ARD Mediathek can use the new ‘videoquote’ function to share extracts from audio and video content with other users on an external website. The IAIS team has developed essential components of the audio mining technology within the THESEUS research program, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology (BMWi). The way the search results are sorted according to relevance has also been optimized,” says Angelika Pauer from Fraunhofer IAIS. The search engine for ARD Mediathek then analyzes how often the word is used. Our audio mining solution uses a voice-recognition facility which searches through the audiovisual database and converts the soundtrack into written text. “The regional broadcasters often put programs in the media library with inadequate metadata, but our technology enables people to still find the content they want.

As a result, visitors to the site can target their searches more specifically. Now, with the audio mining solution developed by Fraunhofer IAIS, program soundtracks are also analyzed and automatically enriched with metadata. Previously, users could only find programs and podcasts by way of their title, the transmission date and brief descriptions. Now, led by its Southwest German unit SWR and working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS in Sankt Augustin, the broadcaster’s website ARD.de has conducted a project to improve its search functions so that users can reach the programs they want to catch up on more quickly.
