interesting piece of software

i met bob eggington, former bbc. he has brought bbc news online and he is pretty realistic: "we are not online to make money, we are online to spend money. we are providing utility." is one of his quotes.

well these days - he retired from bbc last year - he is promoting his new product: dremedia. interesting piece of software. purpose archiving, information retrieval, production, but i have to add amazing tracking tool: video analysing, speech to text transformation, contextual understanding. you can go through the archive and cut out a piece by copying and pasting the line of text you need - you get it together with the right piece of video. "locating video footage by reference to the spoken word. information retrieval from spoken documents, speaker recognition, language recognition and speech enhancement."

the underlying technology is autonomy´s pattern matching and speech recognition from softsound and quantel´s clipbox servers and editing packages. advanced and mostly bugfree software - he says - glued together to a new product. worth to look at it i think.

i found a speech from him online at streaming media west '98.

not so mein ding

I don't like this kind of software because it makes for tools that nobody can handle. people struggle to master any of this stuff, so I say give us simple tools for stuff we can master.

i would use it

for private reason. easy way to get my transcript done . sometime i fall in this strange mood, where i feel the need to have not just everything in my memory but also on paper.

well the other two at this panel of archiving were someone from the ebu and someone from the defense department of the usa. choose.
anyhow, didn´t feel like asking, but couldn´t figure out, why these tv people wanted to listen to the last one: three guesses:
a) they like it to be told: you are just damm idiots. he told them we don´t have any problem to handle betabytes of data in a way that sounded something like: six days for handling and everything else we do on the seventh. they are writing religion in caps, these days in the us.
b) we still want to have your material
c) one they you would come to us, to tell your audiance history.
