AI Transcribe and Summarize Demo

This project is an AI-powered transcriber designed to work with YouTube videos. It takes a YouTube link, downloads the audio, and uses the Deepgram API to transcribe and summarize the content. Built with TypeScript and Next.js, this tool is perfect for anyone looking to get quick transcriptions and summaries of video content.

We recommend using a youtube short for demo purposes as transcription takes time comparable to the length of the audio.

Features

• YouTube Audio Transcription: Input a YouTube video link, and get a full text transcription of the audio content.
• Audio Summarization: Along with a full transcription, the tool provides a concise summary of the audio content, making it easier to grasp the essence of the video quickly.
• Client-Side Caching: Revisiting links? Our tool smartly caches transcriptions on the client side, ensuring faster access to previously processed videos.
• Future Enhancements: We are actively working to add more features, including a file picker option for local files and improving the Deepgram model's ability to transcribe song lyrics accurately.

Built With

• Next.js - The React framework for production.
• TypeScript - For type-safe code.
• Deepgram SDK - For audio transcription and summarization.
• Styled-Components - For styling.
• Tailwind CSS - For utility-first CSS.
• And more from our package.json.
