PodZinger has launched an audio search service that consumers can ‘zing’ to find podcasts. The technology used is based on speech recognition software that PodZinger’s parent company BBN Technologies sells to government agencies.

The PodZinger site has announced: “PODZINGER unleashes the content within audio. To find the podcast you want, don’t just search for it … ZING IT!”

Those who have podcasts can add them to PodZinger for free.

The PodZinger FAQ explains the difference between PodZinger and other podcast search sites:

“Most podcast search sites provide directories of podcasts by subject, category, or they search only the metadata provided by the creator of the podcast. PODZINGER takes search a step further by searching the spoken words inside the podcast in order to find more specific and relevant results. The text-based search results include snippets from the audio to help you figure out if the result is relevant. You can even click on the words to listen to the audio from that point.” [source]
