ABSTRACT:
A system and method provide an audio analysis intelligence tool with ad-hoc search capabilities using spoken words as an organized data form. An SQL-like interface is used to process and search audio data and combine it with other traditional data forms to enhance searching of audio segments to identify those audio segments satisfying minimum confidence levels for a match.
