The Cambridge University Multimedia Document Retrieval (CU-MDR) Demo System is a web-based application that allows the user to query a database of radio broadcasts that are available on the Internet. The audio from several radio stations is downloaded and transcribed automatically. This gives a collection of text and audio documents that can be searched by a user. The paper describes how speech recognition and information retrieval techniques are combined in the CU-MDR Demo System and shows how the user can interact with it.
