For this Hackathon, I wanted to explore audio based Sentiment Analysis using DeepGram. I wanted to use DeepGram to transcribe pieces of audio, and then use a Sentiment Analysis library to analyze the transcribed texts in terms of their sentiment.
I did a bit of thinking about what pieces of audio I'm going to perform Sentiment Analysis on and decided that it would be a good idea to make a Python app that performs Sentiment Analysis on Marques Brownlee's
smartphone reviews from the past 3 years to find, each year, what smartphones he liked, what smartphones he didn't like as much, as well as his sentiment towards the different smartphone brands.
Marques reviews a few different brands but I've chosen the ones that have been reviewed the most by Marques so that I have enough data to work with. These brands are: Google, Samsung and Apple. I'll only be referring to these when talking about smartphones and brands in this article.
I know what you might be thinking: "But Sentiment Analysis isn't very accurate and can make misjudgments on someone's sentiment towards something such as a smartphone!". I know that Sentiment Analysis has it's limitations.
Nevertheless, I've used the best Sentiment Analysis Library in my experience to try and programmatically make the best assessment of his reviews.

Building the App ðŸ›
The app uses 3 scripts to perform Sentiment Analysis on Marques' smartphone reviews from each year.
Each script does the following:
- Using the TextBlob library, it performs Sentiment Analysis on Marques Brownlee's review videos from the year represented by the script(2019, 2020, 2021) that I downloaded in
.mp3
format using this web tool. - It prints Marques' favorite and least favorite smartphone of the year based on the Sentiment Analysis.
- It prints Marques' average sentiment towards the different smartphone brands throughout the year.
- It displays his favorite brand of the year based on the sentiment analysis.
- It displays a bar graph of Marques' sentiment towards each smartphone he'd reviewed that year.
The reason why I made 3 different scripts analyze smartphone reviews from 3 years separately is because I felt that the bar for a great smartphone raises every year. Therefor it wouldn't be fair to compare, say, an Iphone review from 2019 to an Iphone review from 2021.
