Creating Contextual Video Overlays with TomScottPlus

What's this blog post about?

TomScottPlus is a Chrome extension that provides contextual overlays with Wikipedia links for YouTube videos created by English YouTuber Tom Scott, who covers topics such as geography, history, science, technology, and linguistics. The team behind the project was inspired by the need to make learning from these videos more seamless. The extension uses Deepgram's real-time audio analysis capabilities to identify relevant Wikipedia articles for each video topic. It then displays clickable overlays with links to those articles during playback. The source code is available on GitHub, and feedback or suggestions are welcome in the project's GitHub discussions.
