fouadallaoui··on Show HN: Search for words inside of YouTube videos
Thanks for the feedback. We use captions for our prototype in order to extract all the data which is just one way to do it. They are many ways to extract content from videos and we're working on some interesting ones!

About youpronounce.it (watch out for trademark complaints), they focus on a single use case? pronunciation? Which is fine.

We just built a quick prototype for validation. We're working on scan.video to make video content more accessible for people on the Internet. What you see today is %0.1 of what we'd like to build. So, stay tuned! definitely..

(We added a link for 1st time users to make things easier)

Thanks again for all the feedback!

"Search" is the use case.

For now it's just a Proof Of Concept that looks like a video search engine. But here is a list of use cases we could think of:

A Social Platform to share a specific scene from a video (not the whole video like you see on FB, etc). A video bookmark tool to bookmark your favorite lines in a movie. Or even your favorite scene. A content manager for Youtubers to help their followers browsing their content faster. A media tool to quickly collect a bunch of video content for a given news. Think of it as a Twitter for video content.

Search engines are looking for text and meta data only. We focus on digital content, which requires some extra steps...

Thanks for your comment. First time use is key so I'll definitely work on that! I put up an "about" page but it's not easily accessible (bottom of the page).
