Not sure if anybody has tried this but I just spotted a post on TheGreenButton.com about TeVeStream CaptionSeeker, an application for searching captions in TV shows and then you can seach for text in the show and jump to the scene in Media Center. Looks interesting, has anybody tried it?

Richmond Hill, Ontario -- May 26, 2008 -- Arcosoft Inc., developer of video software tools, today announced the release of TeVeStream CaptionSeeker. Captions, found in TV broadcasts, is a valuable but overlooked source of information. Companies, institutions, and government agencies can stay informed of current events, if they can search the captions for interesting keywords.

Using a Vista PC, and one or more TV tuner cards, maintaining an archive of shows is a cost effective alternative to banks of VCRs, proprietary TV recording servers, and buying clips from service bureaus.

CaptionSeeker works by indexing TV shows recorded with Windows Media Center. The user searches for keywords in captions or descriptions. If a keyword is found, the user simply clicks on the search result to jump to the specific scene in Media Center.

CaptionSeeker runs on Windows Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate. Pricing is $499 USD for professional edition and $99 USD for personal edition. Evaluation download is available from www.TeVeStream.com
