Always excited to see others working in the language learning space! (Korean & English in my case)

Signed up and played around a bit, but was unable to get a video transcribed. It kept popping up with a "Error loading video. Please try again later." issue. I tried entering a URL and was given that the audio quality was too low.

Separately, I'm curious how you're approaching quality control in your translations for the words. While building my app, the GPT models regularly get translations wrong for Korean and miss nuance and require human-in-the-loop before sending to the user.

Great work shipping! It looks great!

Thanks a lot for trying!

I tried to upload some Korean videos and indeed it fails on transcription quality. I've built in a check to filter out low confidence videos. I'm using AssemblyAI under the hood but I think it is too strict. I'll investigate.

"Quality control" is now simply a confidence score check and a warning that translations can be wrong. As long as it is mostly right I believe there can be value. However, the experience quickly degrades if it is wrong on every sentence.

EDIT:

I'll try to deploy a new version today. I'm too scared to do it right now because I already brought the server down by building a Docker container. I'm not hosting on a super large node.
