Search Engine Friendly Video
Search Engines are often blind to the content of video or audio files but this is starting to change. The new google audio indexing service uses speech recognition to turn audio into text and then indexes that text. The ability for a computer to understand what an audio file means has far reaching implications. This is something to think about for the future but is not anything to build your whole marketing message on. The google audio indexing service is helped by clear pronunciation of words and low background noise. This technology allows for identifying sounds to assign to known words. As for the visual portion of the video, we do not have a clear definitions of all the movements that could occur. It is not possible at this time to pull accurate information from potentially complex visual movements.
I posted some tips on making websites for search engines at the office.
