YOUTUBE TRANSCRIPT SUMMARIZER

ABSTRACT
Enormous number of video recordings are being created on the internet
throughout the day. It has become really difficult to spend time watching such
videos which may have a longer duration than expected and sometimes our
efforts may become futile if we couldn’t find relevant information out of it as
most of the videos are been uploading to grab the attention of viewers by
tricking or misleading viewers by thumbnails etc. This may waste the valuable
time and resources of the user. So, generating the summaries of those video
transcripts will save you lots of time and you will quickly gather more useful
and important information from it, which will surely save your efforts and time
to watch the complete video.
The project which we have made is extracting the summaries from video
transcripts . We generally use YouTube for watching any videos through
internet. Using this project, we will be able to summarize the YouTube video
within no time. To further improve the user interaction with summarizer,
chrome extension is used for user-friendly interaction which consists of a
‘Summarize’ button. On clicking this button, the chrome extension displays the
summarized text of the current YouTube video running on the Google chrome
web browser.
It highlights the important topics from the video. YouTube video transcripts for
abstractive text summarization without losing the main elements and content.
This project focuses on to reducing the length of the script for the videos. For
this project, we have used a hugging face transformer to summarize the
content of a YouTube video along with that we have used python API to get the
subtitle of a given video. After that our model will perform text summarization
on it and display the summary to the user so that people can skip watching the
video and quickly skim through the summary.
Existing System
Currently, users rely on manually skimming through videos or using YouTube's
auto-generated transcripts, which can be lengthy and unstructured. While
some tools offer keyword extraction, they often fail to provide coherent and
context-aware summaries. The absence of an efficient summarization system
results in time-consuming efforts to retrieve relevant information from videos.

Proposed System
The proposed system introduces an automated transcript summarization tool
that extracts and condenses the essential information from YouTube videos. By
utilizing advanced NLP models, including text summarization techniques, the
system ensures concise and coherent summaries. Users can receive key insights
from videos without watching them in their entirety.

Benefits of the Proposed System


• Time Efficiency: Reduces the time required to consume video content by
providing concise summaries.
• Enhanced Comprehension: Delivers well-structured summaries that
highlight key information.
• Multi-format Accessibility: Summaries can be made available in text,
audio, or visual formats for diverse user preferences.
• Improved User Experience: Allows quick retrieval of relevant information
from long video transcripts.

Methodologies and Tools


Technologies being used

• HTML: Used for structuring the web-based user interface.


• CSS: Enhances the visual design and responsiveness of the platform.
• JavaScript: Implements interactivity, API requests, and real-time
processing of summaries
Testing technologies
1. Get YouTube Transcripts YouTube API: Use the YouTube Data API to fetch
transcripts.
3rd-Party Tools: Websites like downsub.com allow manual downloading
2. Summarization Technologies: TextRank (Python’s sumy or spacy): Extracts
important sentences.
NLTK: Basic sentence ranking.
T5 (Google's model): Trained for summarization tasks.

Modules
1. Video Transcription Module: Converts spoken content into text using
speech-to-text models.

2. Text Preprocessing Module: Cleans the extracted text for optimal


processing.

3. Summarization Module: Implements NLP techniques to generate


extractive or abstractive summaries.

4. User Interface Module: Provides an interactive platform where users can


input video URLs and receive summarized content.

5. Storage & Retrieval Module: Saves and manages generated summaries


for future reference.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
We hope in the future if interested they can find possible ways to extend the
summarizer for other streaming services as well. Providing the summary of a
video in which there are no subtitles and another aspect can be, as we can see
there are numerous videos available in different languages generating a
summary of a non-English video and providing the summary in the English
language so that there is very less language barrier. Here we have come to the
end of the project on the topic of summarization of YouTube videos. We have
tried our best to include all the necessary features that are required and
related to the project.
CONCLUSION
In this project we provided a systematic solution for the text summarization of
a YouTube video. Concerning the summarization performance, we have used a
hugging face transformer for text summarization as it is best way to do so
because it has pre-trained model and is used for various NLP tasks. For less
complexity in obtaining a summary of a YouTube, we created a chrome
extension so simply user can click on the summarize button for a particular
video.

Hope our project solves the problem of the users as they can save their time
and efforts for the lengthy videos and also provide only the important
information on the topic which users can easily understand.
