Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate automatic generation of mnemonic audio portions or segments referred to as audio thumbnails. A system is provided for summarizing audio information. The system includes an analysis component to determine common features in an audio file and a mnemonic detector to extract fingerprint portions of the audio file based in part on the common features in order to generate a thumbnail of the audio file. The generated thumbnails can then be employed to facilitate browsing or searching audio files in order to mitigate listening to longer portions or segments of such files.
