Abstract

In a computer system for navigating to a location in recorded content, a computer receives a descriptive term or phrase associated with a searchable tag. The searchable tag corresponds to a point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred during the recording of recorded content of a communication between a plurality of participants. The recorded content includes speech from one or more of the plurality of participants, the descriptive term includes an automatically generated phonetic translation of the non-speech sound, and the non-speech sound was transmitted to the plurality of participants during the recording. The computer navigates to a location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time at which the non-speech sound occurred.

Claims (52)

1. A computer program product for searching recorded content, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media; and

program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to receive a search query for a non-speech sound, wherein the search query includes a descriptive term or phrase of the non-speech sound;

program instructions to search recorded content for a match for the descriptive term or phrase, wherein the recorded content is of a communication between a plurality of participants and includes speech from one or more of the plurality of participants;

program instructions to automatically identify a searchable tag, in the recorded content, that matches the descriptive term or phrase, wherein the searchable tag:

(i) includes a classification of the non-speech sound, determined using a trained classification function,

(ii) corresponds to a point-in-time at which the non-speech sound was transmitted to the plurality of participants during recording of the recorded content, and

(iii) includes an automatically generated phonetic translation of the non-speech sound

program instructions to navigate to a location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time; and

program instructions to play the recorded content starting at the point-in-time.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions to receive a search query comprise program instructions to receive a selection of a displayed term, wherein the displayed term provides a reference to the location corresponding to the point-in-time.

3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with the recorded content and an indication of the point-in-time.

4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with a link to the location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time.

5. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the communication is a teleconference.

6. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the descriptive term or phrase comprises an identifier of a user of an electronic device from which the non-speech sound originated.

7. A computer system for searching recorded content, the system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer-readable storage media;

program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to receive a search query for a non-speech sound, wherein the search query includes a descriptive term or phrase of the non-speech sound;

program instructions to search recorded content for a match for the descriptive term or phrase, wherein the recorded content is of a communication between a plurality of participants and includes speech from one or more of the plurality of participants;

program instructions to automatically identify a searchable tag, in the recorded content, that matches the descriptive term or phrase, wherein the searchable tag:

(i) includes a classification of the non-speech sound, determined using a trained classification function,

(ii) corresponds to a point-in-time at which the non-speech sound was transmitted to the plurality of participants during recording of the recorded content, and

(iii) includes an automatically generated phonetic translation of the non-speech sound

program instructions to navigate to a location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time; and

program instructions to play the recorded content starting at the point-in-time.

8. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions to receive a search query comprise program instructions to receive a selection of a displayed term, wherein the displayed term provides a reference to the location corresponding to the point-in-time.

9. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with the recorded content and an indication of the point-in-time.

10. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with a link to the location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time.

11. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the communication is a teleconference.

12. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the descriptive term or phrase comprises an identifier of a user of an electronic device from which the non-speech sound originated.

13. A method for searching recorded content, the method comprising:

receiving, by one or more computer processors, a search query for a non-speech sound, wherein the search query includes a descriptive term or phrase of the non-speech sound;

searching, by one or more computer processors, recorded content for a match for the descriptive term or phrase, wherein the recorded content is of a communication between a plurality of participants and includes speech from one or more of the plurality of participants;

automatically identifying, by one or more computer processors, a searchable tag, in the recorded content, that matches the descriptive term or phrase, wherein the searchable tag:

(i) includes a classification of the non-speech sound, determined using a trained classification function,

(ii) corresponds to a point-in-time at which the non-speech sound was transmitted to the plurality of participants during recording of the recorded content, and

(iii) includes an automatically generated phonetic translation of the non-speech sound

navigating, by one or more computer processors, to a location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time; and

playing, by one or more computer processors, the recorded content starting at the point-in-time.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein receiving a search query comprises receiving a selection of a displayed term, wherein the displayed term provides a reference to the location corresponding to the point-in-time.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

responding to the search query, by one or more computer processors, with the recorded content and an indication of the point-in-time.

16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

responding to the search query, by one or more computer processors, with a link to the location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the descriptive term or phrase comprises an identifier of a user of an electronic device from which the non-speech sound originated.
