If you want to search the content of TV and radio news broadcasts, I recommend the
TVEyes search engine. TVEyes captures, indexes, analyzes, archives, and
distributes in real-time content captured from television and radio broadcasts.
"Currently live content alerts and searchable archives are available from:
~ US
~ UK
~ Canada
~ Australia
and the AI Jazeera network. Coverage is being extended to include France, Mexico,
Guatemala, South Africa with these countries on stream by Q4."
TVEyes uses voice recognition technology to create something the company calls its
Spoken Word Index(TM), so that users can search every word in a broadcast. The
search only seems to work if you use one keyword or a phrase because it interprets
more than one word as a phrase. It works very well finding the right broadcast;
unfortunately, once you go to the originating site of the news clip, you may well
discover it is no longer available. However, TVEyes can help you locate a specific
clip, especially if you did not know the source. You may have to pay for that video,
but at least you know where to go to get it. TVEyes offers thumbnail versions of the
clips, including some video no longer available at the originating site, which play
from the TVEyes site. Full clips must be viewed at the originating site.
Summary:
~ Sources of video data: television and radio broadcasts in US, UK, Canada,
