The Reuters Video Archive dates back to 1896 and covers some of the most momentous events in history. With support from the Google Digital News Innovation (DNI) Fund, A.I.-powered automated logging featuring text-to-speech and image recognition has been used to extract large amounts of valuable data from something like a million clips.
Users of the Reuters Connect service can now access timecode-accurate speech-to-text transcripts of historically important videos in multiple lannguages including clips featuring notable individuals from our past.
