Traditional news reading methods often feel tedious and time consuming, leading to decreased engagement and information overload. To address these challenges, we present an interactive news summarizer system that leverages avatar narration and text to speech conversion techniques. Our solution aims to revolutionize news consumption by providing concise news summaries that can be effortlessly listened to or visually experienced through avatars. Recognizing the growing dissatisfaction with traditional news reading formats and the need for efficient information consumption, our system tackles these issues head on. By utilizing advanced natural language processing and machine learning techniques, we automatically generate comprehensive news summaries, condensing key information from articles. Our application offers users an enhanced news consumption experience by providing concise news summaries through avatar narration and text to speech conversion. Users can effortlessly listen to or visually experience news articles, overcoming the boredom and time constraints associated with traditional reading methods. By condensing key information using advanced natural language processing techniques, our system ensures accurate and digestible summaries. The integration of text to speech conversion generates immersive audio, while avatar narration offers a visually engaging alternative. Users will benefit from efficient and personalized news consumption, catering to their preferences and enabling them to stay informed conveniently.
