Windows preview build teases searching your audio and video content — 'intelligent media search' referenced in newest build

Windows 11.

Windows 11 Insider Canary Channel build 27695 references a new "intelligent media search" function, which may come to Windows soon. The function will make words in your local audio files and videos searchable thanks to a local AI model. In some ways this function is reminiscent of Recall, the controversial feature set to return to Windows Insider builds in October.

Intelligent media search is described as a tool that transcribes all audio files and videos on a Windows PC and will make those spoken words searchable through Windows. Think of a recorded meeting you need to get information from or an audiobook you need to find your lost place in. The tool is not currently available in any builds, but references to it have been added, presumably in preparation for its arrival.
