Feature — Audio Search

Dialogue is metadata too.

DAAAM transcribes every clip and fuses dialogue with frame timecodes. Search "arguing near the window" and match both the visual AND the words at that exact moment.

The problem

Your footage has audio. Your DAM ignores it. So you're scrubbing for the take where someone said "we should talk" — timeline by timeline. This is the hole in most footage management: the words matter as much as the pictures.

Dialogue fused with picture

DAAAM doesn't just transcribe your clips. Every word is locked to the exact timecode — and woven into the same search index as the visual description.

  • Full transcript. Every clip transcribed word by word, with precise timestamps. 100 languages, auto-detected. See all supported languages →
  • Synced to frame. Search a line — get the shot. Search the shot — see what was said at that moment.
  • One search, both tracks. Visual and dialogue live together — not in separate silos.

<strong>The result:</strong> A query for "arguing near the window" matches frames where the visual description mentions windows AND the dialogue at that timecode includes argument-adjacent language.

Transcript view

Inspector tab shows the full transcript with line-by-line timestamps. Click any line to copy the timecode + text. Search results in Transcript mode show dialogue hits with surrounding context — so you see the question that prompted the answer, not just the answer in isolation.

Audio synopsis

Beyond raw transcription, DAAAM summarises what each clip sounds like: topics discussed, speaker dynamics, emotional energy. Searching "tense interview, emotional climax" can match clips where the audio flags tension — even if your query doesn't quote exact words.

Accuracy vs. speed

DAAAM defaults to a balance that works for most interviews and location sound. You can choose faster or more accurate transcription depending on your audio — clean studio dialogue vs. noisy location vs. non-English material.

Privacy note

Transcription runs locally by default. No audio is sent to a third party. Your transcript lives in the same local catalogue as everything else — one file, on your drive.
