Abstract

A method for analyzing content of multimedia files is presented. The method comprises processing messages from mail servers, determining a type of the message, executing a convert module and obtaining text content of the message when said type is audio, extracting text from the text content or the message, creating a text version of components from the text, dividing the text version into different files, and analyzing the different files. Further, the messages can be captured, sent to a pending folder, retrieved from the pending folder. Creating the text version and dividing the text version can be performed by a mail engine. Natural language processing can be performed on the files. The text can be examined for compliance and, if appropriate, marked with quarantine violations.

Claims (26)

1. A method for analyzing content of multimedia files, comprising steps of:

processing messages from mail servers;

for each message:

determining a type of the message;

when said type is audio, executing a convert module and obtaining text content of the message and extracting text from the text content;

when said type is not audio, extracting text from the message;

creating a text version of components from the extracted text;

dividing the text version into different files; and

analyzing the different files, wherein the step of analyzing comprises examining the extracted text for compliance comprising at least marking the extracted text with quarantine violations.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of capturing the messages.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the step of processing comprises sending the messages to a pending folder and the step of determining comprises retrieving the message from the pending folder.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the steps of creating the text version and dividing the text version are performed by a mail engine.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of performing natural language processing on the different files.

6. A program storage device having computer readable program for operating on a computer for analyzing content of multimedia files, said program comprising instructions that cause the computer to perform the steps of:

processing messages from mail servers;

for each message:

determining a type of the message;

when said type is audio, executing a convert module and obtaining text content of the message and extracting text from the text content;

when said type is not audio, extracting text from the message;

creating a text version of components from the extracted text; and

dividing the text version into different files; and

analyzing the different files, wherein the step of analyzing comprises examining the extracted text for compliance comprising at least marking the extracted text with quarantine violations.

7. The program according to claim 6 , further comprising a step of capturing the messages.

8. The program according to claim 7 , wherein the step of processing comprises sending the messages to a pending folder and the step of determining comprises retrieving the message from the pending folder.

9. The program according to claim 6 , wherein the steps of creating the text version and dividing the text version are performed by a mail engine.

10. The program according to claim 6 , further comprising a step of performing natural language processing on the different files.
