Transcribing Educational Videos Using Whisper: A preliminary study on using AI for transcribing educational videos

During the last decade, we have witnessed an increase in the volume of video content that is disseminated over the Internet. The pandemic further exacerbated this trend as people started to consume a wide category of videos from their houses [1]. Along with lectures, we have also witnessed a rise in the conferences and talks that are being recorded and uploaded online on streaming sites. These videos augment the material taught in the classrooms and are increasingly being leveraged for educational purposes [2]. Educational videos, like entertainment videos, are consumed in a combination of personal devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and studies.
