Google announced on Wednesday that it is beta testing ‘GAudi’ – a new service to index audio files.

Designed to work with YouTube, GAudi will transcribe the words spoken in an audio or video clip, and add the transcription to a searchable database.

GAudi is currently in beta and is only indexing audio and video from political sources.
