Augmented Podcasts for UC San Diego.
Augcast is a website that augments the functionality of podcast.ucsd.edu. We improve upon traditional podcasts by offering a instant search through a podcast’s textual content, and skipping to the exact lecture and timestamp where a certain phrase is discussed. This is done by Optical Character Recognition on a given podcast’s video frames. Augcast scrapes and OCR's newly added podcasts from podcast.ucsd.edu nightly. Then, users can search any term that appears in their lecture notes and will be taken to the exact time their professor was discussing it in class, eliminating the need to skim through several podcasts trying to find the exact time a topic was covered.
Just visit augcast.xyz. You will need a valid @ucsd.edu address to log in.
