Introducing Auto Chapters - Summarize Audio and Video Files

What's this blog post about?

AssemblyAI has introduced its new feature called Auto Chapters. This feature provides a summary over time for audio content transcribed using their Speech-to-Text API. It works by dividing audio/video files into logical chapters as the topic of conversation changes, and then automatically generates summaries for each chapter of content. The API returns start and end timestamps (in milliseconds) for each detected chapter, a summary which is a few sentence summary of the content spoken during that timeframe, and a short headline which can be thought of as a "summary of the summary". Use cases include video platforms, podcast players, virtual meeting platforms, and telephony.
