Campaign Search

More than 75 percent of Americans rely on broadcast news sources for information about the presidential campaign. Voters have had few ways to search these audio/video outlets for news and topics that are critical to them — until now. CampaignSearch.com has gathered campaign-related video and audio files from a number of Web sites: George Bush's and John Kerry's campaign Web sites, C-SPAN, PBS, NPR and more. CampaignSearch.com uses complex spoken-language-analysis software created by StreamSage to automatically identify the sections of audio/video news and speeches that are relevant to a voter's interests.

Similar to Google's ability to search web pages, StreamSage's system allows voters to search audio/video content for specific keywords. The StreamSage software automatically segments content into contextually relevant clips where those keywords are being discussed, other key topics discussed in these sections, and the relative degree of importance of each topic.
