Actually you're both right. This technology has the capability of searching for an individual term or for a phrase or line. When speed is important you can use both the time/channel to limit the search and then apply the quote to go directly to that part of the program. When you use phrases or lines of speech the search accuracy actually improves.
The Fast-Talk technology doesn't convert Speech to Text. It indexes audio (thats where we apply the secret sauce to phonemes) and then provide the capability for you to search for words, terms, or phrases by applying that secret sauce to your search query and matching that to the indexed audio.
The audio that is indexed is already trained to deal with various accents and dialects so it is not necessary to train it for your own voice or accent.
