| How are you able to store all the videos?
| NKosmatos wrote:
| Allows you to search for a specific phrase or word and you get

| phrase/word is being used. Has around 2M phrases and the first 5
| results are free, afterwards you need to become a sponsor.

| Nope, no affiliation or connection at all. Just me being the

| How has this not been immediately shut down due to copyright?

| Came here to point videogrep out. It is a great tool!

| using speech to text and some massaging. In other words,
| subtitles that match a specific word.
|
| I worked on something similar to this using videogrep and
| "fine-grained" subtitle information using Seinfeld clips. My
| short experiment took as input a string and looked for the
| longest matching subtitle and created a clip out of longest
| matching subtitles of characters saying the contents of the
| input string. I couldn't figure out how to get diarization to
| work reliably back then, if anyone knows, please let me know!
