Adobe Systems will introduce voice-to-text functionality into the workflow of Flash video production soon.  Jim Guerard, who heads all rich media at Adobe, says in this exclusive video clip, that we will see this functionality later this year.

This has huge implications for the monetization of online video as advertisers can match ads with videos effectively.  This will also mark a big evolution of video search. We have seen just the beginning of the introduction of voice-to-text, notably the recent news about YouTube and the political campaigns.

Essentially, this means that words spoken in a video will be automatically transcribed into metadata which is embedded in the Flash file.  This is done within Adobe's Flash video editing tools.
