Audible Magic can recognize anything you watch on TV

by Megan Lavey-Heaton Jan 27th 2012 at 6:00AM

An interesting piece of software I've run across at Macworld | iWorld 2012 is Audible Magic, automated-content recognition software that relies on digital fingerprinting. The Audible Magic technology will identify a TV series based off the audio as it's being broadcast. Audible Magic's customers include yap.tv and Miso, which will have the Audible Magic's recognition integrated into their apps.

Check out the video as Audible Magic's Jay Friedman gives a demonstration of the software and explains how it helps viewers.

Yahoo's IntoNow offers a similar feature, including for live sports or news.

I don't understand. the "guide" button on my remote will tell me what's on, and I don't have to sample to audio.

does AM tell me what's going to be on in an hour? my remote does.

Except Intonow has done this for a good year already? Once they've shipped, maybe it's news, until then, this is pure, unadulterated filler.
