TVeyes

TVEyes is a media-monitoring company whose software indexes spoken-word content from television, radio, podcasts, and online video. Its web-based Insight service lets users search transcripts, receive keyword alerts, inspect audience analytics, and create clips for internal review and reporting.^[1][5].

The company presents its coverage and transcription figures as its own measurements: it says that it processes more than 2.5 million hours of content per month, covers more than 60 countries and 43 languages, and monitors more than 90,000 podcasts.^[2] These claims describe the scale advertised by TVEyes rather than an independently audited dataset.

What It Does

TVEyes turns audio and audiovisual programming into time-linked text that can be searched for names, organizations, products, and topics. The company says alerts can be configured across the source types it monitors and delivered shortly after a mention is detected. Users can then review the corresponding recording, save a result, and edit or export a clip, subject to the service's usage restrictions.^[1]

This focus places TVEyes in spoken-media intelligence rather than general web or social-media listening. The resulting records can function as alternative data for measuring attention, tracking narratives, comparing share of voice, or documenting when a statement or advertisement appeared in broadcast media.

Products

Insight combines broadcast monitoring, podcast monitoring, online-video monitoring, analytics, ad filtering, and enterprise options. TVEyes describes the analytics component as providing measures such as audience demographics, reach, and share of voice. Ad filtering is intended to distinguish paid placements from editorial coverage.^[2]

TVEyes also markets programmatic products for organizations building their own applications. Its partnership offering includes access to broadcast, podcast, and streaming-media data, while named interfaces include a broadcast data feed, advertising-intelligence data, and an archive product for historical searches.^[3]

Delivery And Pricing

Insight is delivered through desktop and mobile web browsers. TVEyes does not publish standard subscription prices on the pages reviewed; it says quotes depend on requirements such as the number of users, regions, and data volume, and offers prospective customers a trial or demonstration.^[2]

The company's website states that clips are licensed for internal review, analysis, and research and warns against publication, rebroadcast, or public display. Those restrictions are material when evaluating the service for external communications or redistribution rather than internal media intelligence.^[1]

Buyers And Use Cases

TVEyes identifies public-relations firms, corporations, government agencies, political campaigns, and compliance teams as customer groups. Typical tasks include confirming broadcast coverage, watching competitors or policy topics, verifying that advertising aired, finding regional stories, and producing internal coverage reports.^[2]

The service's customers and capabilities were also described in copyright litigation brought by Fox News. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit characterized TVEyes as a commercial monitoring service that recorded broadcasts and made them text-searchable for subscribers, independently confirming the basic operating model.^[4]

Copyright And Compliance

In Fox News Network, LLC v. TVEyes, Inc., the Second Circuit considered whether functions that allowed clients to locate and view Fox programming were fair use. The court held in 2017 that the challenged viewing function was not protected as fair use, reversing the district court on that issue.^[4] The decision is relevant to the boundaries between indexing broadcast speech and redistributing copyrighted audiovisual material; it does not establish that every TVEyes product or customer use is unlawful.

Prospective data users should therefore distinguish transcript-derived analysis and alerts from access to, export of, or republication of underlying clips. Contract terms, copyright permissions, geographic coverage, and retention periods may constrain a use case independently of the technical availability of a record.
