This could be really good news for podcasters who are currently paying for transcription services.

Now if Google would just offer audio indexing as a web service, that would be rad.

I bet you THIS is why GOOG-411 was launched. I was waiting for an announcement like this.

That's exactly why.

"... So 1-800-GOOG-411 is about that: Getting a bunch of different speech samples so that when you call up or we're trying to get the voice out of video, we can do it with high accuracy."
