video-content-extractor

authentic

Extract key frames from MP4 videos at configurable intervals, run Tesseract OCR, and generate structured Markdown reports with video metadata and timestamped text transcripts.

When to use

• Use when you need to extract text content from video presentations, lectures, or screencasts.
• Use when you want to create searchable transcripts from video files without embedded subtitles.
• Use when you need to analyze video content programmatically and generate structured summaries.
• Use when the user asks to "read what is on screen" or "extract the content from this video."

When not to use

• Requires FFmpeg and Tesseract OCR to be installed and accessible via PATH.
• Tesseract OCR accuracy depends on video quality, text size, and font clarity.
• Does not extract audio or perform speech-to-text transcription.
• Frame extraction is time-based (not scene-change-based), which may produce near-duplicate frames.
• Large videos with short intervals can generate many frames - ensure sufficient disk space.
