Podcast to text follow-up.
August 19, 2005 @ 01:33 AMWell, there are actually programs it seems that will take MP3s and run text recognition on them. For the Mac, there’s IBM’s ViaVoice. So hypothetically one could set up a few Xserve machines, come up with a slick little AppleScript and let that thing translate Podcasts all day long. The resulting text file would then need to be put into a database with a bunch of information (Which Podcast is it, what’s the URL, etc), and viola: Searchable Podcasts.
And for this product, I shall charge one MILLION DOLLARS… mwahahaa!
