Video PowerSearcher:

A Text-Based Indexing E-Learning System

<sup>ABSTRACT

In our rapidly changing world, information and communication technologies have been influential in the development of education.</sup>

^{Both teaching and learning can benefit from new ITbased
applications that save time and cost and provide practical
solutions for teachers and students.}

^{This article introduces a prototype for a video search system called Video PowerSearcher.}

^{The system provides the capabilities of searching
inside video lectures using text-based search queries.}

^{Video PowerSearcher separates audio from video contents and performs preprocessing activities to identify indexing features for the video which can be utilized at a later stage for search operations.}

^{Experiments were conducted on various lecture videos using Video} PowerSearcher to demonstrate desirable features for

e-learning systems such as simplicity, speed, and accuracy.
