Searchable flash video with speech transcripts
With Adobe Production Premium CS4 you can create searchable video by using the speech to text functionality in Premiere Pro CS4 and Soundbooth CS4. The speech transcript can be embedded as metadata within the media asset, or externalised as an XML file representing Flash cuepoints. When consuming the XML and Flash Video file online the end result is an interactive video where users can search for keywords, view tag clouds for most used words, and browse directly to a timestamp where the keyword is spoken.
Genius! Why didn’t I think of that 
Well here it is. Take a look at the slides from my recent Adobe eSeminar and check out the following demos and resources. Looking forward to seeing how you use this on your site!
