TVEyes First to Offer Real-Time TV Search and Monitoring on iPhone

Media monitoring service for industry, government and political users provides mobile search of TV and radio as well as instant notification and streaming video

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- TVEyes Mobile(sm) for Apple(R) iPhone(TM) enables search for TV and radio broadcasts, real-time email notification of content that matches keywords of interest, and immediate playback of clips on the iPhone. TVEyes is the first and only media monitoring company to provide this capability.

"TVEyes Mobile provides our full TV and radio search, and real-time alert capabilities on the iPhone, an ideal platform on which to inaugurate our mobile initiative," said David Ives, CEO and founder of TVEyes, Inc. "Business, government and political users must be able to respond within the current day's news cycle regardless of where they are, in the U.S. or abroad, and TVEyes Mobile uniquely addresses that requirement."

TVEyes Mobile provides the same search and alert capability for U.S. and international broadcast television and radio as TVEyes Media Monitoring Suite for the desktop. Uniquely among media monitoring companies, TVEyes delivers video in the format required for video playback on the iPhone (H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10). The service is available immediately, and at no additional cost, to subscribers of the company's Media Monitoring Suite.

TVEyes Media Monitoring Suite offers real-time tracking and historical search of U.S. and international broadcast television and radio via its continuously updated database. Users are alerted and can search topics based on a Spoken Word Index(TM) that retrieves television and radio clips and presents them for viewing in a Web-based environment. These clips can be saved in files and/or e-mailed as well as downloaded. Users can search the database and be alerted against keywords in English, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic - with real-time language translation.
