Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This one-page checklist covers keyword, typo-tolerant, semantic and hybrid search for a streaming catalog, plus TV and voice input and zero-result handoffs. Our seven-volume handbook covers the stack behind it: Volume 6 on search and RAG over video archives and speech recognition for voice queries, Volume 3 on players and delivery, and Volume 1 on the encoded catalog itself. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
