Advantages of multimedia search vs text search: you do not need speak a language

Let us imagine you want find something about … Aishwaraya Rai and corresponding movies. Sorry for mentioning that pretty actress as an example, but there is always an example. Ok, get back to the issue.

Aishwaraya Rai. If you are a fluent English speaker, you spell it like ‘Aishwaraya Rai’ in English. However, you might also type ‘Ashwaraya Rai’ (see http://www.ashwaryarai.org/) or ‘Aishvaraya Rai’ and the results of web search will depend on how you spell the name. Now imagine that you could miss something printing that name incorrectly. Now even more – imagine that you do not speak fluent English. Just do not speak English at all. By the way, if you did not know – more than 4 billion people (a lot of people, isn’t it?) do not speak any word of English. Ok, so you do not speak English, but you want any info about Aishwaraya Rai, and in particular images or movies.

You know what? You cannot find it. All search engines track text, but in your case text does not work without language knowledge. Forget about Ms Rai.

However, if you would have an opportunity to find her by your beloved photo which is taken from Chinese magazine, things may change. You submit a photo (without any word of English), and the search engine find all resources containing other photos or videos with Ms Rai casting. Pretty simple, isn’t it?

I think you will have this opportunity very soon as we implement new generation of our system Picollator and enhance the infrastructure.
