Inspiration

Covid-19 hit our classrooms, the amount of time watching online videos became subsequently larger. as a consequence, we wanted to study for our classes more efficiently and to make the creation of study guides much faster.

What it does

It is a Chrome extension that takes a YouTube video to generate text files. Next, using that generated text files, EasyNote creates a study guide based on user-entered keywords to make an easy study guide.

How we built it

The user UI is created with HTML and Javascript, which then processes it to Python Assembly.io file converting the audio to text files. Next, the code gets communicated with javascript that creates Google docs file, using google-drive-api. Lastly, with the user-input keywords, the information of keywords and the timestamps of the occurred keywords get recorded in the docs file.

Challenges we ran into

Converting and communicating between javascript and python files were challenges that we had to go through. Also, learning javascript and HTML from scratch was also a big challenge to overcome.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Making efficient use of Assembly.io and google.api were great accomplishments that we are proud of.

What we learned

learning to process HTML file, Javascript, Assembly,io, google.api, and communication skills among groupmates were the most memorable thing that we think we learned.
