One technology that has not yet matured is talking to your computer or the computer understanding what you have said. Well, at least it is not working very well on desktop computers yet. But apparently companies have been working on it for the bigger, higher-paying customers. BBN Technologies, apparently a leader in the speech-to-text field, has been running Podzinger for a while now. Podcasters can sign up their podcast to be automatically transcribed by their computers and made searchable. Services such as Odeo are doing the same thing, plus it seems that Odeo has a better-looking interface.

About a month ago Podzinger announced that they're scraping the audio of YouTube videos. Speech recognition, of course, is an emerging technology, so it remains to be seen when it will really catch on.
