Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval Engine (MARVEL)
Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval Engine (MARVEL) is an image search tool, developed at IBM Research, that addresses the problem of indexing, categorizing, and searching large volumes of images. Current solutions are extremely labor-intensive, requiring manual annotation of content. MARVEL technology is unique in its approach to analyzing and fusing audio, visual, and text information to automatically annotate multimedia data. MARVEL was awarded the Wall Street Journal's 2004 Technology Innovation Award in the Multimedia Category.

Text-to-speech (TTS) is the generation of synthesized speech from text. IBM's goal is to make synthesized speech as intelligible, natural and pleasant to listen to as human speech and have it communicate just as meaningfully. During synthesis, very small segments of recorded human speech are concatenated together to produce the synthesized speech -- and it's available online for you to try.
