OK. This is too cool. Podscope is a search engine built for indexing audio content. To fully understand the potential of this thing, you have to try it for yourself. Just go to www.podscope.com, enter a search term, and Podscope will return results from audio podcasts that contain your search term somewhere in the audio content of the podcast.
Podscope even provides an audio player in the results page that lets you hear the actual sound snippet that contains your search term. Enough of my feeble efforts to describe Podscope-- go on and try it for yourself and you will quickly understand how important this is.
After seeing (and hearing) Podscope, my next question was "how did I miss this???" The developer, TVEyes, is a company that provides audio indexing (speech to text) services for traditional radio and TV media. On April 11, 2005 they announced that they would be offering indexing services for Podcasts. I just saw it today on Call for Help-- more than six months after its official launch. Oy!
