Idea and Motivation behind the project
With the rise of EdTech industry, lots of video and audio lectures are available on internet. Such huge amount of content is overwhelming and you can't really go through all of it. For college students, watching lectures again can be time consuming process and here comes the inspiration for the idea of RevisionAssist that helps you to revise and summarize your lectures.
What it does
RevisionAssist takes your video or audio lectures and converts it into quick revision notes. You can further customize these notes and download for later use or sharing.
How we built it
I have made use of AssemblyAI's transcription API to convert audio or video lectures to text. This text is further processed and keywords are extracted. Now a library of words is used to further segregate relevant keywords and finally notes are generated for the keywords using wikipedia's summary api. This will be displayed in an application that will let you customize and download the notes!
Challenges we ran into
Main challenge was to filter out the keywords that are actually relevant because depending on arrangement of sentence a word may or might not be useful.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud that I could create a script that does what's mentioned above because it will help a lot of students and save their time.
What we learned
I learned new technologies and some interesting APIs. And since I was hacking alone, I learned how to think and execute an idea all by myself.
What's next for RevisionAssist
It has the potential to help many many students and I look forward to improving the algorithm for generating better notes.
