Simply put, video search technology today does not work. Try searching for a specific video on YouTube or Google Video Search. Tens of thousands of duplicate results, spam, and irrelevant videos will appear.

With over 33M videos viewed and 182M unique viewers monthly (ComScore, May 2010) the number of videos on the web is exploding, as are the number of users with diverse tastes. Video search is the key (as text search was 10 years ago) in delivering the right content to users.

Enswers has developed revolutionary audio/video signal processing and large-scale clustering technologies that redefine media search. Our products include the Enswer.me video search engine, Soompi Asian entertainment portal, AdView online video advertising and analytics platform, Platform-V content distribution platform, and a suite of products for online content management.

Instant playback of a video matching a screenshot

It is easy to find screenshots of TV dramas, entertainment news, sports highlights and other videos on the web these days. This is becoming more prevalent as this offers a way of sharing something interesting with one another easily without violating copyrights. If a user wishes to watch the actual video (where certain screenshots are taken from), then it takes a lot of steps, from going to another portal for video sharing, typing in relevant keywords to find the video, sorting through the search results and picking out the one that seems most similar. Simply put, it was inconvenient.

Simple and convenient : Plug-in installation
Enswers launched 'imideo' to resolve this issue. 'imideo' enables content providers and users to share videos online legitimately and conveniently. Because the solution recognizes images than keywords for search, a user can watch the matching video for 3 minutes (1 minute from the screenshot and 1 minute back and forth) a screenshot on the web by clicking the 'imideo' icon at the right hand corner of any screenshot found online.

Digital content sharing without violating copyrights

The video plays for a minute from the scene that the screenshot is from and, if a user wishes to watch more, a link to the content provider’s website pops up for purchase. This is a good publicity option for content providers and a legitimate one for users.

Image2Play Connects Images to the Videos They Came From (Demo at AsiaD) 
(Formerly until the official launch on April 30, 2012, the service was called Image2Play.)

Soompi

Soompi started out as a fan blog in 1998. It currently stands as one of the largest Korean entertainment portals around the world, showing concerted efforts to exporting Korean brands and relevant goods to all parts of the world. Soompi covers anything with regard to KPOP, including local celebrities, dramas, TV shows, movies, styles, etc. We work closely with the nation's top entertainment agencies to host special events. Once you are at Soompi, it's easy to tell the site has grown to a larger scale to include everything about Asian pop culture.  

In 2011, Soompi set a record of 27 million monthly pageviews from more than 150 countries around the world and 2.6 million unique visitors. This implies a 50% growth from the previous year, when the Enswers-Soompi acquisition took place in February. We are expecting broader coverage this year and this will help us host more than 100 million annual visitors.

Soompi is a never-ending, non-stop resource for everything in Asian entertainment and fashion. It has been around for more than 14 years and fandom for Korean entertainment is another inimitable trait to Soompi. The site is managed mostly by 6 editors & 60 or so volunteers. We're excited to introduce a whole new level of digital entertainment experience, combination of truly innovative multimedia technology of Enswers and rich content of Soompi.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you Soompi.

Online Content Management
Audio & Video Recognition on Mobile Devices
With Enswers new audio & video recognition technology on mobile devices,  

  • These devices can precisely identify the content watched on the user's TV in less than three seconds.
  • These devices can pick up & analyze the music file played and this happens much faster when compared to its competitors.
  • These devices can pick up & analyze the music file played despite distortions and when activated in a noisy environment.
  • These devices (including mobile phones and tablet PCs) recognize the content watched on the user's TV or PC and play the identical content from the exact scene on the mobile devices.
Audio Fingerprinting Technology

Portals and music sites can easily fingerprint audio tracks and compare to an informational database for copyright filtering or delivering accurate metadata and lyrics to users. Unlike other solutions which require the original music file, high computational resources, and are inaccurate unless the audio files are exact duplicates, Enswers has developed a scalable and efficient audio fingerprinting technology. Available with a SDK.

Duplicate Video Removal System

Online video services for user-generated content often receive thousands of video uploads per day, many of them duplicates or spam. Our system can return all overlapping videos for any video in your database, enabling sites save costs and other uses. Available with a SDK and ASP service.

Video Metadata Directory

A single video typically does not contain a lot of useful metadata, but clusters of overlapping videos can provide information such as lyrics, different languages, etc that is useful in improving video search, adding to the user experience, or analyzing video sets. Available as an ASP service.

Adult Video Filtering

Using our innovative search algorithms combined with face and object recognition technologies, portals and video sites can easily identify and flag uploaded videos as adult content. Available with a SDK.
