This project focuses on creating a web-based application that extracts audio transcription from YouTube videos, prepares structured lecture notes, and provides a range of add-ons for an enhanced user experience. It is specifically designed for students, educators, and professionals who want to efficiently summarize video content into organized notes.
Audio Transcription
Extract and process audio from YouTube videos using APIs like youtube-transcript-api or OpenAI Whisper.
Generate accurate and timestamped transcription.
Lecture Notes Preparation
Automatically convert the transcription into structured lecture notes.
Use natural language processing (NLP) to identify key points, topics, and subtopics.
Format the notes into headings, bullet points, and paragraphs.
Enable Live Editing
Provide an integrated editor for users to review and modify the lecture notes.
Add collaborative editing functionality to allow multiple users to work on the notes simultaneously.
Topic-based Timestamps
Automatically identify topics in the video and mention their corresponding timestamps in the notes.
Provide clickable timestamps to quickly navigate to the relevant section in the YouTube video.
Screenshot Integration
Extract and add screenshots from key moments in the video.
Allow users to manually select or automatically generate screenshots for visual reference in the notes.
User-Friendly Interface
Design an intuitive dashboard for users to upload or paste YouTube video links.
Provide options to export the notes in multiple formats (PDF, Word, Markdown).
Backend: Python (Flask or Django) for API integrations, transcription processing, and NLP.
Frontend: React for a responsive and dynamic user interface.
APIs and Libraries:
YouTube Data API for extracting video details and audio.
Google Speech-to-Text or Whisper for transcription.
Spacy or NLTK for NLP-based topic extraction.
