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!

No support for Arabic?
Hi!
I'm living as an expat in France and I had a hard time following the news. So I've been working on Fluentsubs that turns YouTube content into a language learning experience.
YouTube videos up to 20 minutes can be transcribed and listened to. At the same time I made it easy to lookup certain words and automatically add spaced repetition cards using the given context. This means that you can also rehearse with a real voice and not with AI dubs.
This works especially well for the somewhat smaller languages that have a small track on Duolingo, and now are desperately looking for content (Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, etc.)
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback: https://fluentsubs.com
