MediaInsight - monitoring traditional media

    Good ping, internet having



    I want to ask you - do you have a TV? And without waiting for an answer, I will assume that there is :) I myself do not have it, but it does not matter. It is important to be aware of this type of media. Why is this necessary? And then what I want to tell you about one very interesting project. I then found out that there are children who are engaged in monitoring the media - television, radio, newspapers. That is, approximately how Yandex monitors blog activity, they monitor the broadcast.

    Voice recognition


    Yes Yes. To track mentions of something on television and radio, you need to have a powerful voice recognition engine. Unfortunately, I have no information on how it works. But judging by the quality of the recognized text - this is an automated solution, not Indians, as in a well-known service reminders;). I would really like to know how this engine works inside. Or maybe even get at their disposal a more or less relevant copy of it.

    Channel monitoring


    In order to track everything that is said through the numerous channels, you need to have a bunch of tuners, each of which is tuned to its own wave. Or maybe there are some other ways? But I do not know anything about them. This part of the project interests me no less than the voice recognition engine.

    How do I know all this?


    Not. I have nothing to do with them. Just drank beer with one good person. I heard a couple of entertaining stories. I looked at all this with my own eyes.

    Talk less, work more!


    The guys posted on their website several demos using their technology. The search in the archive seems to me especially interesting : you can see what they say about pirates , or find out how the problem of the crisis is presented in the media . It is also interesting to listen about such a phenomenon as mutants - the robot usually makes mistakes on this word :)

    Monetization and others like him


    I think it’s clear - there are many ways to monetize such a project. Not to mention that monitoring itself is quite an interesting thing, so there is still the opportunity to process any conversations using such an engine. What is the distillation of recording negotiations in a text form? And if you recall the listening devices on the phones - mmmm :). In my opinion, such a project looks very attractive for large and medium-sized businesses, as well as for developers of enterprise management systems.

    My hopes


    I don’t know how justified my hopes are, but I really want to see something like “Yandex.blogs” and “the pulse of the blogosphere” - a page with graphs on which I could find out what is most talked about in the traditional media and how it changes over time . I think that would be a worthy advertisement for mediainsight. But who knows where the development of this whole thing will go? :)

    very well
