Hi Bill, I know that Autonomy has the ability to search video and voice and can also transcribe both into text in real time (with about 85% accuracy). It is expensive, but it is also very good at natural language search. I'm sorry to add that the Autonomy site is not accessible, but if you can look at it, go to http://www.autonomy.com/ I hope that this helps. I have seen and used this technology and it does work, although, like anything, it ain't perfect.

I'm aware that this is not a trivial problem and would require major advances in voice recognition technology. IMHO we are approaching a time of both need and availability of hardware power to make such efforts feasible. Bill -- William P.
