Google is testing the ability to search for spoken words in a video through a new \u201cSearch in video\u201d feature. This is officially being piloted in India, but some are also seeing this feature being tested in the United States. <\/p>\n
The announcement. <\/strong>Google posted<\/a> this news on the Google India blog, writing, \u201cbesides images, videos are also a rich source of visual information but it\u2019s often hard to find something buried inside a long clip. For example, perhaps you\u2019re watching a long video about Agra, and you\u2019re curious if it also covers Fatehpur Sikri. With a new feature we\u2019re piloting, you\u2019re now able to search for anything that\u2019s mentioned in a video, right from Search. Simply enter a search term using the \u2018Search in video\u2019 feature and quickly find what you\u2019re looking for.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cUse the \u2018Search in video\u2019 feature beneath a video, enter a term, and quickly find what you\u2019re looking for within the video,\u201d Google added.<\/p>\n What it looks like. <\/strong>Here is a video showing this feature in action:<\/p>\n Like Google key moments. <\/strong>This, at least to me, isn\u2019t too far off from the technology Google uses for key moments<\/a> in a video. Google is able to isolate what sections of a video are talking about, without even having to be fed chapters these days. Plus, with YouTube\u2019s advanced transcriptions, it is no wonder Google Search is able to do this.<\/p>\n US searchers. <\/strong>Searchers in the United States are also seeing this feature. Glenn Gabe tweeted that he saw it as well:<\/p>\n
