Would be cool if a web app existed that could take a video and produce not only a transcript but also a series of intelligently selected images from the video, basically producing a full document that stands alone.


I feel like transcribe + pull out slides would be a generally useful thing for conferences. Even a specialized piece of software that has the original slides and just records when slide changes happen and inserts the appropriate slide into the transcription.

I’m convinced this would help conference videos that frequently do just have points where just the slide is shown (WWDC videos have this a lot - where frequently the speaker isn’t being shown). There should clearly be a standardized video codec for exactly this ;)


Pay me and I'll do it for you. If there is enough demand I'll look for ways to automate it.
