Scrybe

• 

  Video uploaded and transcribed

Inspiration

We wanted to create an application that assists users with transcribing videos. From individuals that are hard of hearing to students trying to cram a Crash Course before their exam, Scrybe provides an organized and simple solution to obtaining transcripts!

What it does

Scrybe accepts .mp4, .mov, and .mp3 video files and converts the speech to text. The output is presented on the page in form of a transcript with timestamps or is accessible via download.

How we built it

Utilizing Google Cloud Platform with Firebase, we created a cloud environment and leveraged storage and function services. Firebase hosted our application and connected directly with our GCP project.

Challenges we ran into

Sending the video files to the cloud buckets proved to be a much bigger challenge than expected. Once we had our cloud environment working, the process was streamlined and we were able to efficiently implement a powerful API and an engaging user interface.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to successfully utilize cloud capabilities and implemented a nice user interface that is easy to understand.

What we learned

We learned how to properly connect to a cloud bucket and send data. From there we also figured out how to utilize that stored information in an API.

What's next for Scrybe

Scrybe has a lot of exciting future developments! We plan to implement user authentication and allow users to store their transcripts in a database, saving their information for the next time they log in. The possibilities are endless with Scrybe, scoping even to language translation!
