ZyLAB Launches Audio Search Bundle

ZyLAB, an eDiscovery and information management innovation company, has launched a desktop software product, ZyLAB Audio Search Bundle.

The ZyLAB Audio Search Bundle uses speech analytics to quickly identify relevant audio clips from multimedia files and from ubiquitous business tools just as fixed-line telephone, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), mobile, and specialist platforms like Skype or MSN Live.

Company officials said that the desktop software product transforms audio recordings into a phonetic representation of the way in which words are pronounced. The investigators are able to search for dictionary terms, however also proper names, company names, or brands without the need to "re-ingest" the data.
