📚 BookCapsule: Unearth the Core of Knowledge in Minutes

BookCapsule is an AI-driven book synopsis tool that distills complex text into its most essential insights and primary takeaways. With BookCapsule, you can quickly unpack the core of a book and save precious time without compromising comprehension.

Key Features

• Chapter-by-Chapter Summarization: BookCapsule provides detailed summaries for each chapter, letting you concentrate on specific areas of interest.
• Whole Book Synopsis: In instances where the book doesn't have chapter divisions, BookCapsule condenses the entire text into a comprehensive overview.

• Sleek User Interface: BookCapsule features a clean and intuitive interface, making the summarization process smooth and user-friendly, regardless of technical proficiency.

Workflow

BookCapsule exploits the T5-small pretrained model from HuggingFace Transformers to generate precise and readable summaries. The process unfolds as follows:

1. Chunking: The text of the book is segmented into chunks, either by chapter or as a whole.
2. Tokenization: The chunks are tokenized using the T5Tokenizer to be compatible with the T5 model.
3. Summary Generation: The tokenized text is input into the T5ForConditionalGeneration model, which outputs summary token IDs.
4. Decoding: The summary token IDs are decoded back into intelligible text using the T5Tokenizer's decode() function, resulting in the final summary.
