The method also includes, upon failure to detect closed captioning data in the multimedia content, extracting audio data from multimedia content, the audio data including speech data, performing a plurality of speech to text conversions on the speech data to create a plurality of transcripts of the speech data, selecting text from one or more of the plurality of transcripts to form an amalgamated transcript, and indexing the amalgamated transcript as associated with the multimedia content.
