So, at least in the short term, if you mostly watch Netflix and YouTube on your smart TV, SearchSearch offers limited utility. If you have RealPlayer installed, you can download that video from YouTube, and if the video is indexed that data comes along.Īs a Chrome extension, StarSearch doesn’t work if you’re watching YouTube or Netflix on anything other than a computer, though Real is looking to move to other platforms. That’s what you see on the left in the photo above. If the video is pre-indexed by RealNetworks or a RealPlayer user (more on indexing later), all recognized faces appear in the video and you can click to the location in the video where that person appears. You can also click over to to see a database of videos within which that person appears. If recognized, you can click the face to get more information. If you click the icon, StarSearch scans the face and checks for a match in a database of approximately 15,000 celebrities (and growing), including politicians, actors, and notable athletes, which usually takes a moment or two.
The image atop this article shows StarSearch (which is free) working in a YouTube video, the recent "Graduate Together 2020." When faces appear in a YouTube video, the StarSearch icon appears on the upper left. While the utility of these products will vary by user, SAFR really shines in both applications, particularly in RealPlayer 20/20. This week the company announced the first two consumer deployments of that technology in StarSearch, a Chrome browser extension that identifies celebrities in YouTube videos and on Netflix, and facial recognition in RealPlayer 20/20. Over the last few years, RealNetworks invented a highly-regarded facial-recognition technology called SAFR that’s primarily deployed in security-related applications.
