With EveryZing, media companies can significantly enhance their online multimedia offerings and better merchandise their branded digital content across the Web.

“By unlocking the contents of multimedia files, EveryZing is powering a shift in how multimedia content will be organized, accessed, and monetized into the future”

EveryZing’s world class speech-to-text technology has the unrivaled ability to extract a full text output from audio and video files across the Web. EveryZing’s full-text indexing of multimedia content creates a new paradigm in the consumption of multimedia content online, aiding the discovery of content within major search engines across the web, bringing the multibillion dollar industry of contextual advertising to the world of multimedia, and for the first time enabling users to navigate within multimedia files using EveryZing’s patent-pending “snippet” navigation interface.

“By unlocking the contents of multimedia files, EveryZing is powering a shift in how multimedia content will be organized, accessed, and monetized into the future,” said Tom Wilde, CEO of EveryZing. “Search has become the Internet’s operating system, and EveryZing’s solution uniquely bridges the gap between multimedia and search to drive consumption. For our partners, higher consumption translates to an increase in advertising inventory and monetization at a higher value. In addition, with EveryZing’s web-based services platform, media companies can quickly integrate it into their existing content management, ad serving and search infrastructure.”

“The popularity exhibited by sites like YouTube and MySpace has indicated consumers’ craving for digital content,” said Josh Martin, analyst for Yankee Group. “Media companies are quickly jumping on the bandwagon, making more and more of their own content available for consumer consumption. The desire for broadband distribution must be matched with compelling new models to maximize the content’s value, while creating flexible models of consumption and monetization.”
