Compressed Meeting Player
If we are to “catch up” or to synthesize meetings, we need a system which reduces the amount of time required to listen to a recording whilst retaining the important content contained in the meeting. The AMI project is working on several approaches to this problem. In the case of an audio-only archive or a situation where the user does not have a multimedia machine but only a low capability (audio only) player, the gist of a meeting can still be extracted via a novel compressed meeting recording. In this demonstration we show a research prototype in which a variety of compression techniques are available and compared. Furthermore, the system will allow for simple navigational controls and the ability to switch between the compressed and the uncompressed recording.
