The team behind yack! has developed an automatic video-to-comic book generator using Deepgram's Speech Recognition API and computer vision. The process involves generating a transcript with Deepgram, selecting keyframes in the video, applying comic book styling to the images, overlaying captions as speech bubbles, and placing each 'tile' in a dynamic SVG element. The project leverages Deepgram's utterances feature for understanding keyframes and diarization for color-coded text when different speakers are detected.
