SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED FOR DATA ITEMS AND RECORDS USING DATA OBTAINED FROM ASSOCIATED VOICE FILES

摘要

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.
