I find the recording UI a bit annoying. They make it unnecessary hard to re-record a clip. Re-recording the previous clip is likely to be a common thing to do. Instead of providing a shortcut for this, they have shortcuts for re-recording each of the individual 5 clips..

It's also impossible (?) to undo a clip. Eg.: If I've already recorded 3 clips and mistakenly begin a clip I simply can't pronounce correctly, there's no way of removing that clip without discarding the whole set. (EDIT: it is possible by re-recording that clip and pressing skip)

Re-recording a clip is very rare for me. Keep in mind that it's supposed to emulate real-world conditions, with all its messiness.
Yeah I think minor mess ups as long as the words are correct is actually good. As well as a bit of background noise. Problem is if Moz builds up a dataset of pure recordings and someone tries to use it but they are in a noisy room and the ML was never prepared for this.
