Abstract: An apparatus for scanning radio waves including a scanner in operable communication with a radio receiver, the scanner further including a monitor module configured to scan a plurality of radio waves in real time. The monitor module is further configured to extract audio samples containing information. The scanner further includes a memory module in communication with the monitor module. The memory module is configured to receive the extracted audio sample data from the monitor module. The memory module is further configured to store the extracted audio sample data. The scanner further includes an audio analyzer module in communication with the memory module. The audio analyzer module is configured to analyze the extracted audio sample data and classify the extracted audio sample data into a particular content category. The scanner further includes a content aggregation module and a second memory module communicating with the content aggregation module.
