Glossary — searchable media archives
Definitions for the terms Deepgrip uses across docs, product and customer conversations. Each term is a stable, citable definition. Anchor links work for direct linking from other articles or LLM citations.
- Searchable media archive
- A video archive your team can search the way they speak. Ask a natural question, get the exact moment back with a timestamp and a playable clip.
- Video intelligence
- The category of products that turn recorded video into something you can search, summarise, cite and reuse — instead of a passive file you scroll through.
- Speaker identification
- Knowing who said what across your archive. The same teacher, anchor, judge or guest is recognised consistently across every recording, even years apart.
- Canonical speaker
- A named identity for a person who appears across many of your videos. Once you label them once, every past and future clip of that person is tagged automatically.
- Code-mixed speech
- Speech that switches languages mid-sentence — Hinglish (Hindi + English), Tanglish (Tamil + English) and similar varieties. Deepgrip transcribes the original mix instead of forcing one language.
- Indic languages
- The 22 official languages of India plus widely-spoken regional varieties. Deepgrip is built India-first: every Indic language is a primary surface, not a long-tail option.
- Semantic search
- Search that understands meaning, not just words. "World cup celebrations" finds the trophy-lifting moment even if those exact words were never spoken.
- Entity index
- A built-in directory of every person, place, organisation, event, format and tournament that appears in your archive — with the timestamps where each one shows up.
- Citation-backed answer
- An answer that always carries proof. Every claim links back to a specific moment in a specific video, with a clickable timestamp the reader can verify in seconds.
- Recap
- A short, structured summary of a long recording — match, sermon, lecture, episode or proceeding. Configurable length, multilingual, ready to ship.
- Compile
- A multi-clip output assembled along a theme that runs across many videos: "every Yuvraj six in the 2011 World Cup", "every time a guest mentioned founder mode last quarter".
- Subtitle translation
- Subtitles in any of 121 languages, generated from your source video. Available as caption files (SRT, VTT) or burned into the video for one-tap publishing.
- Archive monetisation
- Turning a recorded video archive into a sellable, licensable, syndicatable inventory — without growing the editorial team.
- Self-serve catalogue
- A partner-facing front door to your archive: licensees search, preview and request access without going through a sales conversation per clip.
- Watermark
- A protective marker on every exported clip identifying the licensee, the licence window and the source. Travels with the file even after re-encoding.
- Audit trail
- A complete record of every search, view, export and licence request against your archive. Required reading for compliance, finance and legal teams.
- NAS connector
- An ingest agent that indexes videos already sitting on your network storage. Files stay where they are; only the index is built.
- Taxonomy
- How your archive is organised: folders for structure, a curated tag library for themes, canonical speakers for people. Built once, applied everywhere.
- Salience
- A judgement about how important a moment is for a recap or compile — used by Deepgrip to pick the right moments automatically.
