What it does
Our project is a chrome extension that uses Modzy services to analyze text and get insights like sentiment, keywords and summary for anything on the internet. In real-time, you may look into YouTube videos, news articles, tweets, and even subreddits to gain useful information. Our project Text Simplify offers a simple way to Increase your research productivity with real-time summarization and get insights from text and Instantly summarize long YouTube videos.
Leveraging Modzy's sentiment analysis capabilities we can find the item's perception, whether it is negative or positive.
Using the snipping tool you can screenshot & select specific parts of the web pages across multiple sites to get a detailed report on a certain topic.
Ex: You can use it to understand public sentiment after a government implements a new law in the country across different platforms like YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, blogs, and news articles.
Imagine you are watching the tutorial video which is an hour-long and do not know whether it is useful. Using Text simplify you can understand the insights of the video without watching the entire video.
By just opening the video in a tab and by clicking "video caption" you will get all the insights in the video. And by clicking the "video summary" button you will get the text summary of the subtitles of the entire 1-hour long video in a few sentences.
How we built it
We build the chrome extension using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The charts have been added using the chart.js library.
We built our backend rest API using flask. We use Modzy OCR to get text from the screenshots using optical character recognition. Once the text is extracted then it is analyzed by following Modzy API's.
- sentiment analysis
- summary
- Topic modeling
YouTube transcript python package is used to get the transcripts for the video. Once the text is extracted then it is analyzed by following Modzy API's.
- summary
- video caption
What's next for Text Simplify
Deploy backend api and publish chrome extension in chrome web store .
