Let's agree that the web wouldn't be the same without search engines. When information are flooding, you really need to be selective about what you consume. And nowadays we watch more and more videos - why can’t you search inside them for only those fragments that you are interested in?

ViJump introduces text-searching inside videos. The idea is simple: instead of watching an entire clip you could simply go to the parts of the video that are valuable to you. Wouldn’t it be useful to instantly find your favorite gag from a TV series without clicking through the whole episode? Or to search inside a long and boring one-hour debate with US President in order to get quickly his views on the health care system? ViJump will save your time by enabling this feature for you!
