Underline Science

"Underline Science is the world’s first live-streaming and digital library platform for cutting-edge scientific and medical content. Our library includes over 50,000 video lectures from the world’s leading scientific conferences, and you can think of our product as the Netflix for researchers and professionals."

Back to case studies

"In 2022 we found Omnisearch, which enabled us to index all our content and not just the metadata. Integrating it into our site allowed our users to search inside videos, transcripts, slides and documents. As a result we increased the number of item investigations by 70% and made our product much more usable for the end user."

Jernej Masnec, Chief Operating Officer Underline Science

Jernej shares that in addition to the size of Underline Science's library, their content types are also diverse and heterogeneous. "Our library includes video lectures, slides, posters, textual content, metadata, and more. Our previous search functionality Algolia was a traditional one, with a focus on metadata like titles, descriptions, tags, etc. This only leveraged a small part of our content."

Omnisearch was implemented in Underline Science in May 2022, and indexes all media content on the Underline Science library, without the need to manually type in metadata cues or text. Omnisearch's audio processor recognizes spoken text on any language and creates an automatic searchable transcript and captions. Omnisearch's tool allows users to search topics in videos, pictures, slides, and more, so they can find the most important content for them quickly and efficiently.
