PodCastle and songle
Masataka Goto, Jun Ogata, Kazuyoshi Yoshii, Hiromasa Fujihara, Matthias Mauch, Tomoyasu Nakano · 2012
In this keynote talk, we describe two crowdsourcing-based web services, PodCastle (http://en.podcastle.jp for the English version and http://podcastle.jp for the Japanese version) and Songle (http://songle.jp). PodCastle and Songle collect voluntary contributions by anonymous users in order to improve the experiences of users listening to speech and music content available on the web. These services use automatic speech-recognition and music-understanding technologies to provide content analysis results, such as full-text speech transcriptions and music scene descriptions, that let users enjoy content-based multimedia retrieval and active browsing of speech and music signals without relying on metadata.
