My girlfriend has lots of things to study, so I wanted to try to help her. She has lots of notes, lecture videos, and all sorts of medical materials. I decided to choose one topic to test if I could gather all the information into one place and then create a basic quiz about it.
I started with a video first. The video was 1 hour and 20 minutes long. So watching and creating notes from it would be too hard. Plus, I don't understand most of the medical words. So I had to transcribe it. But the other obstacle was that the video had Turkish, English, and Latin languages at the same time. So I couldn't directly transcribe from English or Turkish or even Latin.
I researched transcription apps and I found they were too pricey. I don't have that much money for unknown output. So I tried from simple tools to more complicated ones. I used WhisperDesk. It understands but translates to English. Also even the large model wasn't enough to get nice results. Sometimes it got stuck in the same place for no reason. Then I found Speech2Text. I don't want to use a CLI, so there was a GUI at the first place - thanks to open source! I tried it and it did really well at the beginning, but it had the same stuck issue. Maybe the duration of the video was too long? I separated the MP3 file where the teacher was giving a break. Now I had 3 parts. I transcribed them and voilà, it worked.
Now we had to make it pretty. I removed the timestamps, extra spaces, and made every line a sentence. Then I used Cursor to make it pretty and as a markdown file with topics separated. Also, I asked if some abbreviations or words could be wrong, so fix them based on the context.
Wow, it's been a long journey. I spent 2-3 hours by now, but I did well. Now I checked the notes based on the video part by part and then merged them. Now we had nice context and information. After this, we could use AI to create anything based on the content. I asked Cursor to create a sample quiz page with: text input, true/false or multiple choice questions. Create minimum 30 questions based on the notes. When user gives the answer, immediately show the answer with explanation. Use Bootstrap and don't use custom colors, etc. Use plain Bootstrap. Only create an index.html file.
You can't believe it, but Cursor again did a very well job. We tried it and we loved it. Now my girlfriend has all the notes and EKG content, has sample quiz questions with explanations, and she can practice as she wants.
This project shows how modern AI tools can make content processing and application development faster and easier. By combining transcription technology, AI content improvement, and automated code generation, I created a complete study solution in just a few hours. The approach demonstrates practical ways to use AI in education technology, making complex content easier to understand and more interactive for students.
