At university
Three hours of lecture, fifteen minutes before the seminar. Get the transcript, find the part that's actually on the exam, keep the notes.
Built by Patryk. Hand NINA a recording and get back a transcript with who said what, a summary, and a timeline you can jump around. Then ask it questions.
What it does
A summary tells you what was said. NINA also tells you where.
Give it a lecture, a meeting, a podcast, anything long. It listens, works out who said what, and hands back a transcript, a summary and a timeline. From there you can ask it things, the way you'd ask someone who sat through the whole thing.
How it works
Seven steps, none of them magic. Here they are in order.
Upload a file or paste a link. Video or audio, and it doesn't have to be short. If you already have a transcript, it'll take that instead.
Speech becomes text, with a timestamp on every line. That's what lets everything after this point at a moment rather than a page.
The recording gets cut where the subject actually changes, not every five minutes. So a section is a section, not a slice.
Each section is filed by what it's about, so later you can find it by describing it instead of remembering the exact wording.
A second pass reorders the candidates so the closest one lands first. Fast search is good at finding fifty things; this picks the one you meant.
Only now does a language model look at the material, with the structure already worked out. It's reading a sorted file, not a wall of text.
A summary, a timeline you can click through, and answers to whatever you ask, each one pointing at the minute it came from.
The part that matters
Most tools stop at a summary, which is fine right up until you need the bit at minute 47. NINA keeps track of how the material is put together, so you can go straight there instead of reading a paragraph about it.
Ask it something and you get an answer plus the moments it came from, so you can check it. That matters more than it sounds. The alternative is trusting a tidy paragraph that may have invented the whole thing.
Who it's for
Three hours of lecture, fifteen minutes before the seminar. Get the transcript, find the part that's actually on the exam, keep the notes.
The meeting everyone recorded and nobody rewatched. Turn it into what was decided, and who said it.
A four-hour interview, a documentary, a backlog of podcasts. Same problem, same fix.
