With the upcoming mobile app, all you need to do is point your phone at what you’re watching on TV, capture a few seconds on video and VideoSurf will identify the show, actors who appear in it and suggest other videos you might like.
Like Shazam for the TV, VideoSurf allows you to hold smart phones up to the screen to find out just who that actor is. VideoSurf is video search engine that has created a better way for people to search, discover, and watch online videos. Using computer vision VideoSurf has taught computers to “see” inside videos to let users find and watch videos that they really want to see.
Shazam is integrating Spotify into its premium apps for iOS and Android, adding a “Play in Spotify” button, that will send you through to your premium Spotify app to play the song you’ve just identified.

The Spotify integration means that Shazam users will also need to have the premium Spotify app on their device as well, and the Spotify integration will only be available to Shazam Encore and Shazam Red users until the end of Q1, when it will be rolled out to the free Shazam app.
