Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to determine tags for unknown media using multiple media features. Disclosed examples extract features from audio and image portions of the unknown media. Disclosed examples weight the features based at least partially on respective recognition technologies used to extract the features to determine corresponding weighted features, wherein disclosed examples assign a first weight to a first feature extracted by an image-based recognition technology, and assign a second weight, different from the first weight, to a second feature extracted by an audio-based recognition technology. Disclosed examples search a database of pre-tagged media with a combination of the weighted features to generate a list of suggested tags for the unknown media. Disclosed examples assign one or more tags from the list of suggested tags to the unknown media.
