Coveo goes with Dragon AudioMining

Coveo Solutions has selected Nuance's Dragon AudioMining for its Coveo Enterprise Search for Microsoft SharePoint. Nuance says its technology makes it possible to search in audio and video files with text keywords and phrases, discovering information within rich media files on a corporate server, intranet, Web site or within private media archives.

With the integrated ability to search audio and video content, all Microsoft SharePoint and Coveo Enterprise Search customers will be able to add rich media as a supported content type for search and retrieval. By integrating Dragon AudioMining, Coveo claims it's the only enterprise search vendor to offer audio and video search within Microsoft SharePoint. Dragon AudioMining uses Nuance's speaker-independent recognition engine to create XML word, timestamp and metadata information for every word spoken within rich media files. XML speech index data makes the speech information within rich media files visible to text-based Web crawlers and search products, unlocking the information hidden within digital audio and video files on the Web and within private media archives.

The first deployment of the audio and video search-enabled Coveo solution will be to the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy.
