About

QuizTube is an application that allows users to turn any YouTube video into an interactive quiz. It was developed for the Lablab AI Hackathon, using the Whisper API and ChatGPT.

The application uses Python and Flask for the backend. The Lablab version downloads YouTube audio, uses Whisper for speech-to-text, and sends the transcribed text to ChatGPT to generate questions. Due to Whisper's limitations regarding speed, an alternative solution using the YouTube API to download captions is provided.
