About The Project

The Lecture Boost project won second place in the Purdue BoilerMake 2023 hackathon competition after an initial review by contest organizers and a secondary review and vote by selected Purdue University professors. It was originally developed over a period of 36 hours by Kichul Kang (Github: kckang1103), Sam Tarr (Github: S-Tarr), and Thomas Wiegand (Github: twiegan). After the competition the code was developed further by Kichul Kang and Sam Tarr. Lecture Boost is a web application used to enhance lectures in a variety of ways:

Removing Silence:

• remove the silence in between when you lecturer starts and stops speaking
• decrease lecture times by around to 33%

Dynamic Slide Generation:

• If your slides are not available generate them just from the video
• It can even create slides from handwritten notes or whiteboard notes if your lecturer spends a lot of time writing

Transcriptions:

• Generate transcriptions of lectures with time stamps!

Subtitles:

• Add subtitles to your lecture videos
