Enhance user engagement
Apply the extracted metadata to improve user experience. Use speech transcription and translation to easily add closed captioning in multiple languages, fine-tune recommendation algorithms based on objects and people that appear in a video, and automatically create clips from sections featuring a particular person. Reuse the Video Indexer portal widgets on your own applications without building the underlying infrastructure.
