The Spoken Media project is a joint project between CEIT, the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Office of Educational Innovation and Technology (OEIT) also at MIT to develop a workflow based Lecture Transcription Service based on CSAIL's Spoken Lecture system.

The Spoken Media system processes video to create a transcript and/or segmented video to enable the two to be linked via a project-developed browser. Through the Spoken Media browser one can search for a term/phrase, select the video to watch, view the transcript and control the video by selecting within the transcript.

The joint project aims to continue development of the Spoken Media system to address a number of architectural and implementation issues. The resulting system will be easier for institutions to use and integrate with lecture recording/viewing systems. The project also hopes to expedite the flow of important research data from the transcription process back to the speech recognition group at CSAIL.
