PodZinger is a Cambridge, MA based audio and video search engine that leverages speech recognition technology developed by its parent company, BBN Technologies, to look for content inside audio and video files formats. PodZinger creates a text index from the audio and video feed and uses that index to find relevant terms within published audio and video files.

As a video search engine, PodZinger highlights the segment of an audio or video file by creating text snippets around the searched terms. The user can click anywhere in the snippet to listen to or watch just that snippet segment, they can listen to the entire file, and they can download the file or subscribe to feed. PodZinger is able to perform multimedia searches in both English and Spanish, and generates RSS alerts.
