Media monitoring company TVEyes has started an all new media monitoring service called TVEyes Mobile that enables the mobile search of TV and radio as well as instant notification and streaming video on the iPhone (News - Alert).

 

Headquartered in Fairfield, Conn., TVEyes provides online, real-time spoken word search and indexing for television and radio broadcasts, audio and video search infrastructure for search engines and broadcast production, and advertising solutions for video and audio publishing Web sites.

 

The new service, TVEyes Mobile for Apple (News - Alert) iPhone enables search for TV and radio broadcasts, real-time email notification of content that matches keywords of interest, and immediate playback of clips on the iPhone. Company suggest that the new service would be ideal for industry, government and political users.

 

David Ives, CEO and founder of TVEyes, said that business, government and political users must be able to respond within the current day's news cycle regardless of where they are, in the U.S. or abroad, and TVEyes Mobile uniquely addresses that requirement.

 

TVEyes Mobile works in conjunction with company’s TVEyes Media Monitoring Suite and thus provides search and alert capability for U.S. and international broadcast television and radio as the Media Monitoring Suite for the desktop.

 

TVEyes Media Monitoring Suite also offers real-time tracking and historical search of U.S. and international broadcast television and radio via its continuously updated database. Users are alerted and can search topics based on a Spoken Word Index(TM) that retrieves television and radio clips and presents them for viewing in a Web-based environment.

 

These clips can be saved in files and/or e-mailed as well as downloaded. Users can search the database and be alerted against keywords in English, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic - with real-time language translation

 

Recently, the Defence Media Activity command of the U.S. Department of Defence renewed its contract with TVEyes for real-time video monitoring and archive search, in support of the Office of the Secretary of Defence. TVEyes was selected after an open bidding process that invited all industry participants to compete.
