   So that would explain why people are interested in tools that help manipulate pdf files?

   My issue with PDFs was the fact they are hard to read on smaller screens because the format isn’t natively easy to reflow. I guess another issue today is RAG for AI: how can a pdf be chunked in meaningful pieces. Funny to see old methods su

   Actually we can run these networks today on any WebGPU enabled browser. If no WebGPU then transformersjs will still work (but slower). I use for example a DistilBert token classifier to restore punctuation in YouTube transcripts in Scribe:

   I did something like this with Scribe where the formatting actually happens locally in your browser using a small token classifier based off MobileBert https://www.appblit.com/scribe

    Quick hack: just replace youtube.com with appblit.com to see the transcript of any YouTube video. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AaNT7XO41I https://www.appblit.com/watch?v=0AaNT7XO41I

    The site embeds the YouTube video so we can hear the audio, so I could show the video as well, just not sure where :) Perhaps split in 2 columns on wide displays (video left, transcript right), and portrait (e.g. mobile phone), video on top

    I've adopted a very simple approach: 80 words per "paragraph". I am now experimenting with computing the embeddings of each sentence and try to detect topic segments. But the simple approach yields pleasant segments AFAIK.

    The pdf should show them as bold. I’ll see how to add the highlights to the markdown and html. Hard for text (maybe use * around each?) You can share the link as it contains the list of timestamps corresponding to your highlights. So others

    I've tried using LLMs to restore and clean up raw unpunctuated transcripts, but they tend to hallucinate new words. And chunking is an issue since long transcripts need to be split according to the LLM input context size. But where do
