Podzinger

TechCrunch introduced Podzinger recently. It's a service you can harness to search thousands of podcasts. The ability to convert audio to text makes Podzinger enable to do exact search better than just searching description of podcasts. The charming feature of the service is that it allows users to listen just the audio snipper that contains the search terms. Michael Arrington said he encountered errors when trying this feature. I tried and it works well, but I don't know why it's. In search results, every result entry has some time marks and text showing where the your search terms occur in the podcast file. You can choose one of those marks to listen. Once you click those marks, you see the seeking indication showed besides the result entry. When it seeks the snipper it plays. Cool and useful service.
