# Deep audio fingerprinting for word search

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-11-08)

Simply speaking, I'm trying to somehow search an audio clip for a list of words, and if found, I mark the time stamps. My use-case is profanity check with a list of pre-defined profane words.

Is there any successfull approaches, samples, tools or APIs, possibly through deep learning, to perform this? I'm new to audio processing.

You would need to perform some kind of `speech-to-text` to get the audio transcription with the corresponding synchronization wrt the audio. Then search in the transcription.
