It reads on-screen text, transcribes audio, and describes what's happening.<br> </p> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://assets.dev.to/assets/github-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/bossprogrammer275" rel="noopener noreferrer"> bossprogrammer275 </a> / <a href="https://github.com/bossprogrammer275/local-ai-video-analyzer" rel="noopener noreferrer"> local-ai-video-analyzer </a> </h2> <h3> Analyze Videos locally and get an AI output </h3> </div> <div class="ltag-github-body"> <div id="readme" class="md"> <div class="markdown-heading"> <h1 class="heading-element">🎥 Local AI Video Analyzer (viddesc)</h1> </div> <p><a href="https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://camo.githubusercontent.com/fdf2982b9f5d7489dcf44570e714e3a15fce6253e0cc6b5aa61a075aac2ff71b/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f4c6963656e73652d4d49542d79656c6c6f772e737667" alt="License: MIT"></a> <a href="https://github.com/ellerbrock/open-source-badges/" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a8a6219cf0313b681948382bcbcc27a34ae00572d463437bd92ebb1df58647c9/68747470733a2f2f6261646765732e66726170736f66742e636f6d2f6f732f76312f6f70656e2d736f757263652e7376673f763d313033" alt="Open Source Love"></a></p> <p><strong>Local AI Video Analyzer</strong> is an open-source, lightweight, and quota-optimized engine for deep video understanding. It bridges the gap between local privacy/efficiency and powerful cloud-based reasoning.</p> <p>By combining local OCR and audio extraction with Groq's high-speed Llama models, this tool provides a comprehensive analysis of any video—capturing visual scenes, on-screen text, and spoken dialogue—without breaking the bank.</p> <div class="markdown-heading"> <h2 class="heading-element">🌟 Why This Project?</h2> </div> <p>Most video AI tools are either purely cloud-based (expensive) or purely local (slow). <strong>viddesc</strong> uses a hybrid approach:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Local Heavy Lifting</strong>: OCR and frame extraction happen on your machine.</li> <li> <strong>Turbocharged Reasoning</strong>: Groq handles the complex narrative merging in milliseconds.</li> <li> <strong>Privacy First</strong>: Temporary files are purged immediately after processing.</li> </ul> <div class="markdown-heading"> <h2 class="heading-element">✨ Key Features</h2> </div> <ul> <li> <strong>Hybrid Vision &amp; OCR</strong> <ul> <li> <strong>Vision</strong>: Uses <code>meta-llama/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct</code> on 5 keyframes for visual context.</li> <li> <strong>Local OCR</strong>: High-frequency Tesseract OCR (1 fps) captures on-screen text with <strong>zero</strong> API…</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="gh-btn-container"><a class="gh-btn" href="https://github.com/bossprogrammer275/local-ai-video-analyzer" rel="noopener noreferrer">View on GitHub</a></div> </div> ai llm opensource showdev Ismail Gidado Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:10:11 +0000 https://dev.to/ismailgidado/looking-for-a-team-3788 https://dev.to/ismailgidado/looking-for-a-team-3788 <p>Hi developers from Nigeria, I need people to join my fintech startup. This is not just fintech, it's solving a real problem for Nigerian developers facing flutterwave and paystack payment cuts.<br> Whether you're a teenager looking to join a real startup, you're fit in it. I've designed the MVP already, I just need a team to scale higher and better.<br> No payment guaranteed for now because it is still a startup. DM if you serious about building together, and together we can build to solve more problems in Nigeria<br> <a href="https://devpay.lovable.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://devpay.lovable.app</a></p> Ismail Gidado Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:00:20 +0000 https://dev.to/ismailgidado/new-member-298p https://dev.to/ismailgidado/new-member-298p <p>Hello developers, happy to be here with you</p> webdev ai javascript productivity
