Socrate is an AI-powered web application designed to help students engage with their study materials interactively. Users can upload documents, videos, and audio files and communicate with an AI that can summarize content, extract key entities, and hold live discussions based on the uploaded material.

• Upload Materials: Supports PDFs, Word documents, videos, and audio files.
• AI-Powered Chat: Engage in live discussions with an AI based on the uploaded material.
• Text and Voice Interaction: Communicate with the AI through both text and voice messages.
• Material Management: View, manage, and delete uploaded materials easily.

• Django: Web framework used to build the application.
• Django Channels: Enables real-time communication via WebSockets for live chat functionality.
• OpenAI API: Powers the AI chat functionality, providing responses based on content summaries and extracted entities.

• PyMuPDF (fitz): Extracts text from PDF documents.
• MoviePy: Handles video processing, including frame extraction and audio handling.
• Spacy: Performs entity extraction from text, enabling better context and interaction with uploaded content.
• Tesseract OCR (pytesseract): Recognizes text in image-based PDFs.

• Azure Cognitive Services Speech SDK: Provides text-to-speech and speech-to-text conversion, enhancing voice interaction features.
• Transformers (Hugging Face): Summarizes long text content, leveraging models like distilbart-cnn-12-6.

• OpenCV: Preprocesses images for OCR tasks.
• FFmpeg: Converts audio and video files to required formats for consistent processing.
• Pillow: Handles image manipulation and conversion for OCR preprocessing.

• Requests: Manages API calls to external services, such as Azure's Computer Vision API.
• gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech): Converts AI responses into audio, enhancing the voice interaction experience.
