Workflow (Step-by-Step)
1. Video Upload
-
Teacher logs in and uploads a lecture video
-
Video metadata (title, subject, instructor) is recorded
2. Audio Extraction & Transcription
-
AI engine extracts audio from video
-
Speech-to-text transcription converts lecture to text
3. Tag Generation
-
NLP analyzes transcription for key topics, concepts, and terms
-
Tags are ranked based on frequency, context, and importance
-
AI suggests additional tags based on course content and similar videos
4. Review & Editing
-
Teachers review and approve or edit AI-generated tags
-
Tags are saved and associated with video in database
5. Search & Recommendation
-
Students can search videos using tags or keywords
-
System suggests related videos using tag similarity
