For newsrooms & broadcasters

Break stories faster
from your own archive.

Search every word spoken on air across years of broadcast footage. Find the exact statement or clip that backs your story, with the speaker and a timestamp attached.

The footage exists. Finding it is the problem.

A newsroom running 24-hour coverage generates thousands of hours of footage every year. When a story breaks, producers spend hours scrubbing through tape, or skip the archive entirely and reshoot. Deepgrip indexes the speech and on-screen text of every broadcast, so a producer can search in plain language across 23 Indian languages and English and open the exact moment.

  • Search years of broadcast footage in plain language, without manual scrubbing
  • Find a statement by speaker, topic or phrase
  • Get speaker-labelled transcripts for every moment retrieved
  • Build a clip package with source and timestamp for the edit suite
  • Search by what is shown on screen as well as what is said
  • Index footage where it is held: NAS, LTO tape, cloud storage and MAM systems

Common questions

Is there software that searches a news archive by what was said or shown?+

Yes, that is what Deepgrip does. It transcribes every broadcast, including mixed-language speech, and reads the frames, so a producer can search by a quote, a name or a description of the shot. Results come back as moments with timestamps and the speaker. It runs next to your archive on your own servers or on Deepgrip cloud.

Can Deepgrip search Hindi and regional-language broadcasts?+

Yes. Deepgrip transcribes and indexes broadcasts in 23 Indian languages and English, including mixed-language speech such as Hindi and English. The reliable test is a sample of your own bulletins, which we run in the demo.

How does Deepgrip work with our existing MAM?+

Deepgrip sits alongside your media asset management system. It indexes footage where it is held, whether on a NAS, LTO tape, cloud storage or in the MAM, and returns results that link back to the source. Nothing in your existing infrastructure is replaced.

Can we index agency feeds and third-party rushes?+

Deepgrip indexes any video file you hold, whatever its source. You can set an embargo date on a video. Rights terms stay with your team.

How is the archive kept up to date as new broadcasts air?+

The NAS connector picks up new files when it rescans, on demand or on a schedule you set. Ask us about the cadence that suits your newsroom.

What can we export for the edit?+

Clips as MP4 and transcripts as SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON, each linked to its source and timestamp. Tell us if you need a specific broadcast format and we will confirm what is possible.
