tl;dl - Too Long; Didn't Listen

tl;dl is a podcast summarization tool for Google Podcasts. (probably buggy, since this was a side project just for myself)

It uses;

• streamlit for user interface
• whisper for speech-to-text
• ollama for summarization
• TTS for text-to-speech

Requirements

ollama must be installed and served

ollama run llama3:instruct

Installation

git clone https://github.com/makermotion/tldl.git
cd tldl
pip install -r requirements.txt

note: python version 3.10.12

Usage

To use the podcast summarizer, you need to run the UI via: (you need to be on the project directory)

streamlit run app.py

Development

• tl;dl heavily relies on the web scraping, links for podcast soundfile links are collected from the Google Podcasts website from some specific html tags. So all podcasts may not be supported. If you want to contribute you can file an issue for not supported podcasts or you can contribute to the codebase.
• Also there may be a script for tl;dl to be used as a command line tool.
• dockerize the application
