| Abstract: |
A method for skimming digital audio and video data, wherein the video data is partitioned into video segments and the audio data has been transcribed, is comprised of the steps of selecting representative frames from each of the video segments. The representative frames are combined to form an assembled video sequence. Keywords contained in the corresponding transcribed audio data are identified and extracted. The extracted keywords are assembled into an audio track. The assembled video sequence and audio track are output together. An apparatus for carrying out the disclosed method is also disclosed.

What is claimed is:
1. A method for skimming digital audio and video data wherein the video data is partitioned into video segments and the audio data has been transcribed, said method comprising:
- selecting at least one representative frame from each of the video segments;
- combining said representative frames to form an assembled video sequence;
- identifying keywords contained in the transcribed audio data;
