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.
