Seek App:

Today, there are over a billion websites on the internet with a colossal amount of information. The ability to search through them (using Google, or your favorite search engine), is the most important factor in sustaining such rapid growth. However, the internet is only equipped to handle text-input text-

output and voice-input text-output searches. No matter what medium we feed the input, the result is always text. We wanted to fix this bottleneck. Can we really search through other forms of media?

Seek aims at opening up this paradigm of audio content searching. Imagine you and your friends get together and decide to watch Inception. You recall there being a catchy dialogue with the phrases ”X“ and ”Y“, and you really want to show your friends. But where is this phrase? How do we navigate to it? Enter Seek. Select any audio/video file, and let seek transcribe the audio and store it server side. From then on, seek allows you to navigate within the media files like they were text documents.
