Navigating Recorded Meetings with Content-Based Indices

Researchers have created a number of meeting capture applications in the past decade, yet relatively little research has focused on the review and use of captured meeting information. In this paper, we describe a controlled study of a mature meeting capture and access application, in which we observed subjects finding information within their own group meetings. The results demonstrate the importance of indices into the meeting record, especially those related to meeting content, and reveal a number of navigational behaviors with implications on the design of meeting capture and access applications and interfaces.
