🎥 YouTube Programming Tutorial AI Analyzer

This Actor takes a publicly available YouTube programming tutorial URL and performs AI-based audio and visual analysis. It also includes a Braille translation feature designed for visually impaired and blind learners. People can take print of Braille text on Braille printer and can also learn and understand YouTube programming tutorials.

The Actor supports two transcription modes. Currently, it works with one YouTube URL at a time and supports English language content only.

---

Audio Mode

1. Converts spoken audio into structured text using AI

2. Generate a summary according to your prompt

3. Translates text and summary into Braille language for visually impared and blind people

4. Returns audio text + summary + braille text + structured metadata

---

Vision Mode

1. Extracts frames from the video

2. AI-based vision analysis of frames according to YouTube timestamps. It can do visual analysis of 1-10 frames at one time

3. Translates visual text into Braille language for visually impared and blind people

4. Returns visual text + explanation of frames + braille text + structured metadata

This Actor acts as an intelligent YouTube tutorial translator and summarizer for programming content.

Many programming tutorials—especially advanced ones—assume prior knowledge and move quickly through complex topics. A one-hour tutorial can easily take days to fully understand.

This Actor helps learners save time by extracting, summarizing, and visually explaining key concepts, allowing them to focus only on the most relevant parts of a tutorial.

Error Handling & Support

The actor can fail due to many reasons because it relies on third-party services. We tested it and always trying to improve it's performance. Please allow the Actor to complete its run before assuming a failure. However, if you found any technical issue or bug you can create an issue on the Actor's[Issues tab] (https://console.apify.com/actors/yi776iLZVvLMpvZqM/issues).

Note

Please note that because of AI hallucination, sometimes you will not get expected results. Do not worry and re-run. You will get expected results. Also note that longer videos take longer processing time, therefore you need to be patient.

• If audio or video download fails, the Actor exits without charging.

• Vision mode requires frameTimestamps. If not provided, the Actor will fail early without billing.

• Long videos may take more time and processing resources, but pricing remains event-based, not duration-based.

• Re-running the Actor counts as a new execution and may incur charges again.
