To many it may sound like a gimmick, but the launch of a music search engine called Midomi (Midomi.com) has the potential to break into new areas of voice recognition. Recently released in beta form by Melodis (Melodis.com), Midomi is a voice activated recognition system geared towards the music market.

The website allows you to either sing, hum or whistle your favourite song, and the search engine will analyse the tune, words, etc and search its vast database of songs to find a match.  While you may believe that it is impossible to search on the above criteria, the system is built around a very powerful recognition system called the Multimodal Adaptive Recognition System (MARS). 

The high tech MARS system actually strips down the sound input to words, pitch, tempo, etc.  The system is then capable of ignoring the speech element if the user hums or sings the song, allowing for a more defined search criteria.

The site is part of a social network which allows users to tag and store their favourite songs, which are then automatically added to the search engine database.  As the database of songs is ever growing, the array of songs will always be changing with the times.

The algorithms and filtering system behind this venture can be used in a variety of areas of business in the future.  This is no gimmick and could literally change the way we search for information on the internet.
