Google Talk's potential searchable conversations

I was thinking the other day that one of the things you can do with VoIP is to record it, using shareware like SoundStudio to record them to your hard drive (look at all of the podcasting interviews being done over Skype). Once it’s on the hard drive, you could then run speech recognition against the file and create an index that can be searched by, yup, you’ve got it, Google Desktop Search.

What would be more interesting is if they wrap contextual ads around the speech that is recorded (if it is even legal in the first place).
