Post Description

Hey HN!

I have turned Ilya’s 30 papers into AI audio overviews (and videos). Each paper gets explained chapter by chapter.

I think this is a good starting point to get an overview before reading the full original PDFs.

I recently added the multi-speaker podcast style explanations like in NotebookLM. If anybody has a good suggestion for a new format, let me know :)

Transcriptum – fast video transcription with speaker labels and summary

It pairs WhisperX-grade transcription (speaker diarization and word-level timestamps) with optional multi-LLM analysis — summaries, Q&A, sentiment, topics and even fact-checking — plus YouTube import and standard export formats. Being vendor-agnostic and offering fact-checking is a smart differentiator, but the space is crowded (Descript/Otter/etc.); clearer accuracy numbers, pricing, or unique workflow hooks would make this stand out.
