映像検索のヒント
A key part of successfully searching audio is to understand a few basic rules regarding entering search terms:
Characters: A general rule of thumb is to spell out every word in the search query.
This includes:- Numbers: Instead of '2008', type 'two thousand eight'. Spell the number using the variation in which it is most likely to be spoken – for example, in an address, '495' is likely to be referred to as either 'four nine five' or 'four ninety five'.
- Acronyms: Separate acronyms that are spoken as a series of letters with spaces. For example, 'FBI' would be entered 'F B I' and 'NCAA' would most likely be entered 'N C double A'.
- Symbols, Punctuation: Omit all symbols and punctuation such as $, ! and -. Only double quotes are allowed.
- Abbreviations: Spell out an abbreviation the way it is pronounced. For example 'Mr' should be 'Mister' and 'Dr' would be 'Doctor' (or 'Drive').
Spelling: Because we're not searching a transcript or other text, correct spelling is not required. In fact, modifying the spelling of words can actually help improve the results. If the correct spelling of a word is not pronounced the way in which it is typically spoken, adjust it so that the letters more closely match how it is spoken. For example, when searching for 'Barrack Obama', try 'Buh rock o bahma'.
