🐸 FrogBase

Create navigable knowledge from multi-media content

FrogBase (previously whisper-ui) simplifies the download-transcribe-embed-index workflow for multi-media content. It does so by linking content from various platforms (yt_dlp) with speech-to-text models (OpenAI's Whisper), image & text encoders (SentenceTransformers), and embedding stores (hnswlib).

⚠️ Warning: This is currently a pre-release version and is known to be very unstable. For stable releases, please use any 1.x versions.

from frogbase import FrogBase
fb = FrogBase()
fb.demo()
fb.search("What is the name of the squeaky frog?")

FrogBase also comes with a ready-to-use UI for non-technical users!

Features

FrogBase currently provides functionality to:

• Download media files from a wide range of platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, etc.) using yt_dlp
• Transcribe audio streams for downloaded & local files using OpenAI's Whisper
• Embed transcribed text from corresponding video segments using Sentence Transformers
• Index & search the embedded content using hnswlib

FrogBase also includes a Streamlit UI to provide a simple GUI for the above functionality enabling a locally hosted, interactive experience.
