The Idiap Research Institute (acknowledgement to Alexandre Nanchen) has recently developed a technology to localize, detect and recognize text in videos based on Optical Character Recognition. A project has been conducted on Canal9 local Swiss video channel. An application helps to make a search online based on the discussed topic or speaker name. Klewel provides the associated service.

Klewel in partnership with the Idiap Research Institute has conducted an AMIDA mini-project on automatic captioning of video lectures.
Abstract
The goal of the AMIDA mini-project was to transfer some of the technologies developed
within the AMIDA project to be used by a Klewel retrieval system. More specifically, the
main focus was to develop a speech-to-text application based on the AMIDA Automatic
Speech Recognition (ASR) system.
