Find the Correct Scene by Searching the Subtitles
| by Eran Abramson on March 30, 2008 in Industry News |
Have you ever searched for a specific scene in a movie? Have you stopped the film in the middle, only to come back and forget exactly where you were at? Instead of searching each scene separately, would you prefer to search by the actual words or dialogue of the scene?
Hitachi has developed a way to find the right spot in a film or tv show by searching for specific names or phrases. Instead of skipping scene by scene, you can simply look for it based on the words you remember.
Just think about it…I personally know many of my favorite movie scenes word for word, yet more than once I have had a difficult time finding the exact part when I wanted to show it to my friends.
Let’s face it, we don’t remember a certain part of the movie by the time display but by the actual dialogue. Doesn’t it seem more productive to search for our favorite parts by the actual text within them?

That is definitely helpful to have. It’s a lot easier to search by quotes in the movie or TV show instead of by scene. Hopefully, this will be implemented into all movies and TV shows in the future.

Hey Shyguy, good to see you.
We remember films by the memorable quotes or scenes, so it makes sense to be able to search for these parts by the actual words.
