The “flagship feature” is called HearHere; it allows users to go right to specific words within audio using speech recognition and software and proprietary algorithims. The audio technology is being used for podcasts on the company’s own site with video on the way. (The site also has a recommendation engine.) The new funds will go to distribution efforts, according to VentureBeat. The demo site uses ESPN Radio SporsCenter.
