Abstract

See full text

Test designers looking for test ideas often search online for audio/video materials. To minimize the time wasted on irrelevant/inappropriate materials, this invention describes a system, apparatus, and method of retrieving media materials for generating test items. In one example, the system may query one or more data sources based on a search criteria for retrieving media materials, and receive candidate media materials based on the query, each of which including an audio portion. The system may obtain a transcription of the audio portion of each of the candidate media materials. The system may analyze the transcription for each candidate media material to identify associated characteristics. The candidate media materials may be filtered based on the identified characteristics to derive a subset of the candidate media materials. A report may then be generated for the user identifying one or more of the candidate media materials in the subset.
