In this paper, we propose a new method based on Chinese keyword search to select the WAV or MP3 files in audio post-production. First, we listen to each file and label it with Chinese characters, and then classify and store the files in a relational database system. Then, we use the techniques of Chinese keyword search to match query characters and the tuple characters quickly, and to compute similarities between the query and candidate tuples. For the characteristics of Chinese keyword search, we present a ranking strategy and an algorithm to refine the candidate tuples resulting from the first round matching, and finally get top-Nresults of audio files. The experimental results show that our method is efficient and effective.
