A good crowdsourcing exercise—one million users concurrently voicing keywords over and over.

Not only computers, but TVs, gaming consoles, phones, tablets, vehicles, anything with a processor and a program can at least record, and possibly translate locally, or sent the record to the cloud for translation processing.

Years ago, I worked in the NYC emergency management facility in Brooklyn. They had a system that listened to radio and TV, cable, satellite and broadcast channels for any mention of the mayor’s name. If something came up, it was forwarded to the mayor’s office. It was purely political, and very expensive.
