Overview of My Submission

As students all over the world were forced to attend online classes, YouTube became a popular go-to option for a lot of students (like me 😬) who were unable to understand online lectures.

While studying via YouTube videos, I often found myself getting distracted (by Minecraft videos 😅) and wasted a good number of hours trapped in the recommended videos.

To overcome that we came up with this idea of having a companion application where you can create categories and add a bunch of channels which will allow you to focus on content which is necessary and avoid unnecessary distractions.

To make the application more useful, we integrated Azure's Cognitive Services for

Speech to Text for generating transcriptions
Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining for rating the video (because YouTube removed dislike counts ☹️)
Azure ML to train an AI powered Quiz Generator
Summary of the video in text format (so that you do not waste time on the wrong video 🤓)
