Abstract
A method and system are provided for using the contents of voice files as a basis for enabling search and other selection operations for data items that are associated with those voice files. Voice files may be received having associations with other data items, such as images or records. A corresponding text file is generated for each of the one or more voice files using programmatic means, such as a speech-to-text application. Each text file is provided an association with a data item based on the association of the voice file that served as the basis of its creation. Each text file is then made available for the performance of search and selection operations that result in the identification of associated data items.

10. A method for enabling the identification of images based on voice tags created with the images, the method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of voice tags, wherein each of the one or more voice tags is associated with one or more images; generating a corresponding text file for each of the plurality of voice tags; associating the corresponding text file of each of the one or more voice tags with the one or more images; providing an interface for a user to enter a search term; and in response to receiving the search term, comparing a criteria specified by the search term to a content of the corresponding text file for each of the plurality of voice tags in order to identify one or more images that are associated with the voice tags that satisfy the criteria. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A system for enabling the identification of data items based on voice data created with the data items, the system comprising:
-
an interface module configured to receive a plurality of data items that each include or are associated with voice data, wherein the interface module communicates with a speech-to-text application to cause a resulting text file to be generated for and stored in association with each of the plurality of data items; a presentation module that is configured to (i) identify a text selection criteria from a user input, (ii) perform a comparison operation on each text file generated from the plurality of voice data by comparing the text selection criteria to a content of each text file in order to determine whether each text file satisfies the text selection criteria and to determine which of the plurality of data items satisfy the text selection criteria, wherein the content of each of the one or more text files includes one or more character strings; wherein the presentation module receives two or more search terms as the text selection criteria, and wherein the presentation module is configured to use the two or more search terms and a BOOLEAN connector relating to the two or more search terms to determine which data items in the plurality of data items satisfy the text selection criteria; wherein the data item corresponds to one of an audio file, a video file, or an image file. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
