There is an easy way to summarize your video quickly and effortlessly. OneAI will automatically analyze your video, convert it to text and generate a high-quality summary. That summary can become your YouTube video description, for example. You'll love summarizing once you learn how easy it is!

Here is how we can get a video summary

‍Do it online in our Studio:

For this task let’s take a CNN news report. Here we can download it as audio. Now let’s jump to OneAI studio. Our studio operates with Language Skills, these are represented by a bunch of rectangles. Each Skill can be dragged and dropped onto Skills pipeline box, above the library.

Now upload your audio file. You’ll notice that the  “Audio Transcribe” skill was automatically picked for you. We recommend using the following skills in order to get best results:

1. “Proofread” -  fix grammar errors and remove filler words from the recognized text

2. “Summarize” - summarize improved text

It’s important to follow the sequence because each of the following skills work with the results of the previous step. That’s why “Summarize” works best after “Proofread”.

Now upload your audio file. You’ll notice that the  “Audio Transcribe” skill was automatically picked for you. We recommend using the following skills in order to get best results:

2. “Summarize” - summarize improved text

It’s important to follow the sequence because each of the following skills work with the results of the previous step. That’s why “Summarize” works best after “Proofread”.

Feel free to try any other skills. For example, we can drag “Names” after “Summarize” to extract all entities and types.

Our pipeline is ready, time to click run to see the results. Voila!

‍Try it in the code editor:

‍Step1: Pick one of the generated code you need to your code editor (click here to generate your own API key):

Step 2: Run “pip install oneai” for Python SDK or “npm install oneai” for Node.js SDK to get the library. Make sure to import all the required packages:

```import oneai

import base64

oneai.api_key = "[YOUR ONEAI API KEY]"

```

In our example, we used Python SDK code. Here is what we got when we run all the skills together: transcription, proofreading, summary, and names:

```with open("AudioFile.mp3", "rb") as f:

   pipeline = oneai.Pipeline(

     steps = [

           oneai.skills.Transcribe(),

           oneai.skills.Proofread(),

           oneai.skills.Summarize(),

           oneai.skills.Names(),

     ]

   )

   transcription = pipeline.run(f)

```
