I’ve been building a video-to-text web app and wanted to share it for feedback. The core flow is straightforward: upload files, start transcription, then track progress in a history page that refreshes automatically while jobs are running. Paid users can submit multiple files at once, and speaker diarization is supported for conversations and interviews.
Over the last few weeks I focused mostly on reliability. I changed the pipeline to extract audio first and then run transcription, which made long-file handling more stable. I also spent time improving failure handling so users see a clear message when a job fails, instead of raw model errors.
Pricing is intentionally simple right now: free users get 3 transcriptions per day, and there is one Unlimited plan at $20/month or $120/year.
I’d really appreciate feedback on the overall UX, whether the failure/retry behavior feels right, and whether the pricing is understandable for first-time users.
