In this paper, we describe the "Spoken Web Search" Task, which is being held as part of the 2012 MediaEval campaign. The purpose of this task is to perform audio search in multiple languages, with very little resources being available for each individual language. The data is being taken from audio content that was created in live and realistic low-resource settings.
