Developer builds AI pipeline to convert lectures into text, audio, and Braille

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Developer Vishal Mundewadi created AccessLearnAI, a pipeline designed to make lecture content accessible in multiple formats. The system takes a lecture recording and generates a text transcript using Whisper, a concise summary with T5, natural-sounding audio output via Edge TTS, and Braille formatting. The pipeline was built using Python with FastAPI for the backend, React and TypeScript for the frontend, and deployed on Google Cloud Platform with Vercel for hosting. A key challenge encountered was managing memory constraints on a free-tier deployment, where loading both Whisper and T5 models simultaneously exceeded available resources. AI

IMPACT Enables broader access to educational content by providing multiple output formats from a single lecture source.

    Building Access Learn AI: Turning Lectures into Text, Summaries, Audio and Braille

    <p>A lecture is one of the most common ways we learn, and one of the least accessible. A student who is deaf can't follow the audio. A student who is blind can't read the slides. A student with a cognitive or attention difficulty may struggle with a 60-minute recording and no sum…
