audio files indexing

[Asako Yoshida]

Dear colleagues:

We have a collection of videos which are archives of writer's conferences 
hosted on campus at the University of North Dakota over the last 20 years.  
Many notable writers visted 
and engaged in frank and open discussions and dialogues on given 
litrary, social, political or cultural topics and themes.  We want to make 
audio files out of the video collection and make them available on the Net.

Has anyone attempted to index within a given audio file by subject or
other criteria?  At this point, we have some sense that we need to 
combine current audio editing technology (edit, quality control, cut and 
past, etc.) and manual traditional indexing.   Any leads to some similar 
projects are much appreciated.

Thank you.
