Build a spoken-word archive
- 1
Collect the recordings
Group the files by a real project or subject. A meaningful title now makes later results easier to judge.
- 2
Transcribe every item
Use one engine and language choice consistently across the batch.
- 3
Index titles, sources and transcript text
Exact search should find a person’s name or quoted phrase. Passage embeddings support conceptual searches.
- 4
Open the match at its timestamp
The text is an index. The recording settles context, tone and ambiguity.
Use exact search for evidence, meaning search for recall
Search the exact word when spelling or quotation matters. Use a short description when you remember the idea but not the phrase. Media Mill combines both and keeps meaning search local.
