Here's what I understand about it:
ScriptSync is unique to Avid. Avid owns patents that that specify "any speech technology" as part of an editorial process. Nexidia has its own patents on time-aligned text, etc. So an implementation that involves a script or transcript can only be done with cooperation or co-licensing. The original "Script Based Editing" patent, that originally belonged to Ediflex has since expired. So any NLE could recreate what currently exists in Media Composer v8 without "a speech technology". Steve Audette did a great video on using SBE without the ScriptSync option on interview footage.
So without the ScriptSync option, you can still use SBE but for most purposes it will take too long to align all takes and lines in realtime plus corrections. The Nexidia-powered ScriptSync option is what made SBE really work — although Script Based Editing itself could of course be vastly improved upon; its current version does not differ much from its mid-1990 first implementation.
PhraseFind on the other hand, is apparently owned by Nexidia. That technology also powers other solutions as seen with Boris Soundbite and it is a subset of Nexidia's own "Search Grid" which is the one that scales to hundreds of thousands of hours of indexing and returns results in mere seconds – even faster than PhraseFind results in Media Composer on far less material. Nexidia can license this technology to whomever and host applications can implement/integrate to best fit the solution at hand.
However, if they are as good as PF in MC, that shoots down the theory that PF and SS are the tools that make MC stand out among the rest
