A Quote from Official Google Blog: “In their own words”: political videos meet Google speech-to-text technology (via DownloadSquad )

With the help of our speech recognition technologies, videos from YouTubes Politicians channels are automatically transcribed from speech to text and indexed. Using the gadget you can search not only the titles and descriptions of the videos, but also their spoken content. Additionally, since speech recognition tells us exactly when words are spoken in the video, you can jump right to the most relevant parts of the videos you find.
