Everyzing

Theatre In Chicago has partnered with EveryZing, the world’s most powerful multimedia search and merchandising platform.  Through the partnership, Chicago theatre fans everywhere will now easily be able to search inside of, and uncover, the specific content that is directly related to their individual theatrical interests.

For Theatre In Chicago, EveryZing is helping to make previously undiscovered multimedia content more searchable, increasing the amount of online content accessible to site visitors.  Now, site visitors can enjoy all of the sites’ weekly podcasts, which provide the latest Chicago theatre happenings, reviews and news, including interviews with a variety of theatre professionals from award winning Broadway stars, to film and stage stars, to the people making theater happen at the small storefront type theatres in Chicago.

“Since we launched the site, we’ve had numerous requests to make the content from our weekly podcasts searchable,” said Mark Meyer, president of Theatre In Chicago.  “Our interviews are timeless, but before we partnered with EveryZing, once they aired, they were just another piece of achieved content.  The ability to search our multimedia files will help us to increase our podcast listener base, as well as visitors to our site.”

Ideal for a variety of audiences, including tourists looking for city happenings, locals searching for a night on the town, businesses planning an event for clients, or parents trying to find an appropriate play for their children, Theatre In Chicago offers a little something for anyone who has an interest in theatre. EveryZing is helping this diverse audience connect with the content that is specific to their individual interests.  
      
“The ability to have Theatre In Chicago’s content discoverable is not only servicing the visitors that come to the site but is also helping to increase exposure for local theatres and actors,” said Tom Wilde, EveryZing CEO.  “This is a great example of how to leverage technology to enable a smaller, local company to gain exposure on a larger, global scale.” 

EveryZing’s world class speech-to-text technology has the unrivaled ability to extract a full text output from audio and video files across the Web. EveryZing’s full-text indexing of multimedia content creates a new paradigm in the consumption of multimedia content online, aiding the discovery of content within major search engines across the Web and for the first time enabling users to navigate within multimedia files using EveryZing’s patent-pending “snippet” navigation interface.                                             

EveryZing, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was recognized as the Best Web 2.0 Application in 2006 by the Massachusetts Innovation and Technology Exchange. Unlike other general web search and aggregation services that work only on meta data and tags, EveryZing leverages its unique speech to text, search, and optimization technologies to unlock the content within multimedia and automatically process and organize it to power a compelling ecosystem.
