Abstract

In a computer system for navigating to a location in recorded content, a computer receives a descriptive term or phrase associated with a searchable tag. The searchable tag corresponds to a point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred during the recording of recorded content of a communication between a plurality of participants. The recorded content includes speech from one or more of the plurality of participants, the descriptive term includes an automatically generated phonetic translation of the non-speech sound, and the non-speech sound was transmitted to the plurality of participants during the recording. The computer navigates to a location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time at which the non-speech sound occurred.

Claims

1. A computer program product for navigating to a location in recorded content, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media; and

program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a descriptive term or phrase associated with a searchable tag, wherein the searchable tag corresponds to a point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred during recording of recorded content of a communication between a plurality of participants, wherein the recorded content comprises speech from one or more of the plurality of participants, wherein the descriptive term includes an automatically generated phonetic translation of the non-speech sound, and wherein the non-speech sound was transmitted to the plurality of participants during the recording; and

program instructions to navigate to a location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time at which the non-speech sound occurred.

2. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the program instructions to receive a descriptive term or phrase associated with the searchable tag comprise program instructions to receive a selection of a displayed term, wherein the displayed term provides a reference to the location corresponding to the point-in-time.

3. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to, prior to navigating to the location, identify the searchable tag and the point-in-time.

4. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the program instructions to receive a descriptive term or phrase associated with the searchable tag comprise:

program instructions to receive a search query including the descriptive term or phrase; and

program instructions to search the recorded content for a match between the descriptive term or phrase and a term or phrase included in the searchable tag.

5. The computer program product of claim 4, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with the recorded audio and an indication of the point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred.

6. The computer program product of claim 4, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with a link to a location in the recorded audio corresponding to the point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred.

7. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the communication is a teleconference.

8. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the descriptive term comprises an identifier of a user of an electronic device from which the non-speech sound originated.

9. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the program instructions further comprise program instructions to play at least a portion of the recorded content starting at the point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred.

10. A computer system for navigating to a location in recorded content, the system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer-readable storage media;

program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a descriptive term or phrase associated with a searchable tag, wherein the searchable tag corresponds to a point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred during recording of recorded content of a communication between a plurality of participants, wherein the recorded content comprises speech from one or more of the plurality of participants, wherein the descriptive term includes an automatically generated phonetic translation of the non-speech sound, and wherein the non-speech sound was transmitted to the plurality of participants during the recording; and

program instructions to navigate to a location in the recorded content corresponding to the point-in-time at which the non-speech sound occurred.

11. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the program instructions to receive a descriptive term or phrase associated with the searchable tag comprise program instructions to receive a selection of a displayed term, wherein the displayed term provides a reference to the location corresponding to the point-in-time.

12. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to, prior to navigating to the location, identify the searchable tag and the point-in-time.

13. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the program instructions to receive a descriptive term or phrase associated with the searchable tag comprise:

program instructions to receive a search query including the descriptive term or phrase; and

program instructions to search the recorded content for a match between the descriptive term or phrase and a term or phrase included in the searchable tag.

14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with the recorded audio and an indication of the point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred.

15. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the program instructions further comprise:

program instructions to respond to the search query with a link to a location in the recorded audio corresponding to the point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred.

16. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the communication is a teleconference.

17. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the descriptive term comprises an identifier of a user of an electronic device from which the non-speech sound originated.

18. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the program instructions further comprise program instructions to play at least a portion of the recorded content starting at the point-in-time at which a non-speech sound occurred.
