Abstract
The information is one of the most valuable commodities nowadays. The information retrieval mechanisms from broadcast news recordings is then becoming the one of the most requested services from the end-users. The planned Slovak automatic broadcast news (BN) processing service provides automatic transcribing and metadata extracting abilities, enabling users to obtain information from the processed recordings using a web interface and the search engine. The resulted information is then provided trough multimodal interface, which allows users to see not only recorded audio-visual material, but also all automatically extracted metadata (verbal and nonverbal), and also to select incorrectly automatically identified data. The architecture of the present system is linear, which means every module starts after the previous has finished the data processing.
