YouTube to Pharo

  • Submitted by: Kasper Østerbye, retired
  • Keywords: Converting YouTube videos to text, text can then be read inside Pharo"
  • More Info:

- I made a small (5min) video of what I have made: https://maarumlam.dk/kasper/ESUG2026Kasper.mp4 - The essence is that it is possible to convert a YouTube video to text using a Pharo tool I have build. An use AI to read the text and summarize it. In essence it can turn all ESUG presentations into text, and get an overview of what was presented. Of cause presentations are richer than text, but to get an overview, it is rather useful.
